The Cathedral of Castelo Branco or Church of St. Michael (Portuguese: Sé de Castelo Branco, Igreja de São Miguel) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Castelo Branco, Portugal. It is the co-seat of the Diocese of Portalegre-Castelo Branco along with the Cathedral of Portalegre.

Much of the cathedral was built in the style of the Renaissance, in the 17th century. It lost its status as a cathedral when the Diocese of Castelo Branco was absorbed by that of Portalegre. It was restored as co-cathedral in 1956.[1]

Since 12 September 1978, it is protected as one of the National monuments of Portugal.[2]
