Saint Thaddeus and Bartholomew Cathedral was an Armenian Apostolic church in Baku, Azerbaijan, designed by architect Hovhannes Kajaznuni. Construction began in 1907 and the building was completed in 1910, with its consecration taking place in 1911. Located on Bondarnaya-Dmitrova street (later Shamsi Badalbeyli street), the structure exemplified Armenian architectural traditions. The cathedral was demolished in 1930 as part of the Soviet government's campaign against religious buildings, and its site was subsequently occupied by the Baku Academy of Music.
