The Transfiguration Cathedral (Romanian: Catedrala Schimbarea la Față din Tighina, Moldovan Cyrillic: Катедрала Схимбаря ла Фацэ дин Бендер; Russian: Преображенский кафедральный собор) is the name given to a Russian Orthodox church in the Diocese of Tiraspol and Dubossary, Bender, a town controlled by Transnistria, de facto independent territory of Moldova.

Its history dates back to 1814 when working on the expansion of local strength. It was built between 1815 and 1820 to constitute a symbol of liberation from Ottoman Turkish rule place.

It was consecrated on December 5, 1819. From 1918 to 1944 (except for the Soviet period, from 1940 to 1941) the parish church belonged to the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Since 1948 the cathedral was placed under state protection as a monument of architecture of the early nineteenth century.
