La Catedral de Campeche, dedicada a Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción, se ubica dentro de la ciudad fortificada de Campeche, declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad. Es la Iglesia principal de la Diócesis del mismo nombre, sede del Obispado. Está enclavada frente a la Plaza de la Constitución de la ciudad. El rango de catedral le fue otorgado en 1895 por el Papa León XIII.

Es un edificio de estilo barroco y con rasgos del neoclásico, famosa por resguardar en su interior figurillas de arte sacro, destacándose un monumento denominado "El Santo Entierro" que representa un ataúd con la figura de Cristo y que durante el Viernes Santo es llevado por las principales calles de la ciudad.

El 8 de diciembre de 1526, el emperador de España Carlos V, otorgó a Francisco de Montejo la autorización para conquistar y poblar la provincia de Yucatán, otorgándole el título de El Adelantado. Conmemorando este hecho en 1540, su hijo Francisco de Montejo y León "el Mozo" mandó construir en la Villa de San Francisco de Campeche una pequeña iglesia en honor de la Virgen de la Purísima Concepción. La construcción, que estuvo hecha a base de cal, canto y techo de palma, fue remodelada y ampliada hacia 1650.
