A '''tree cathedral''' is an [[arboretum]] laid out so the arrangement of the trees creates the typical architectural elements of the [[nave]], [[chancel]], and [[transept]]s usually constructed from masonry in a typical medieval [[cathedral]].

Examples of tree cathedrals include:
* [[Whipsnade Tree Cathedral]] in Bedfordshire, England. It was planted from 1932 by the lawyer Edmond Blyth as a First World War memorial, inspired by [[Liverpool Anglican Cathedral]]. It was donated to the [[National Trust]] in 1960, and became a Grade II [[registered garden]] in 2017.
* The tree cathedral planted 1986 at Newlands, near central [[Milton Keynes]], to a design by the landscape architect Neil Higson, based [[Norwich Cathedral]].
* The ''cattedrale vegetale'' at Malga Costa, in the in northern Italy, a project commenced in 2001 (see ), and a second one at [[Lodi, Lombardy]], for [[Expo 2015]]; both by the Italian artist .
