Cathedral Park is a neighborhood in the North section of Portland, Oregon on the east shore of the Willamette River. The St. Johns Bridge connects the neighborhood to the Linnton and Northwest Industrial neighborhoods in Northwest Portland across the Willamette. In addition to these neighborhoods, Cathedral Park is bordered by St. Johns on the northeast and University Park on the southeast.

The neighborhood is named after its most prominent landmark, Cathedral Park (1968), which in turn is named after the cathedral-like columns of the St. Johns Bridge it surrounds.

The 1911 Sanborn Map Index for the City of St. Johns, Oregon shows that the Cathedral Park neighborhood was part of the original City of St. Johns prior to annexation by Portland in 1915.
