Saint Sophia Cathedral (Greek: Καθεδρικός ναός της Αγίας Σοφίας, romanized: Kathedrikós naós tis Agías Sophías) is a Greek Orthodox church on Moscow Road in the Bayswater area of London.
It was consecrated as the Church of the Holy Wisdom on 5 February 1882 by Antonios, Metropolitan of Corfu, as a focus for the prosperous Greek community that had settled in London, particularly around Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill.
Today, in addition to its regular Saturday and Sunday services, it hosts a Greek polyphonic choir, Byzantine music, and an associated school in which pupils discover the history and language of Greece and take Greek dancing lessons.
