Кафедральний собор Успіння Пресвятої Діви Марії – головний римо-католицький храм Одеси.

Будувати його почали в 1848 році за проєктом Франческо Моранді за підтримки губернатора Новоросійського краю графа Воронцова. До того в місті діяв невеликий костел, збудований у 1822 році за проєктом Джованні Фраполлі на території, яку в 1805 році виділив католикам перший градоначальник Одеси Дюк де Рішельє.

У 1935 році костел було закрито, в ньому розмістили краєзнавчий музей, а після Другої світової війни – спортивний комплекс. Було зруйновано мармурові вівтарі, змінено форму готичних вікон, знищено кам'яні склепіння.

Лише в 1991 році костел повернули католицькій громаді міста. Тут похований генерал від інфантерії граф Олександр Ланжерон.
