The Anglican Diocese of Ballarat extends across the south-west region of Victoria, Australia. It is one of the five Anglican Church of Australia dioceses in the ecclesiastical Province of Victoria.
The Cathedral of Christ the King, Ballarat, is the cathedral of the diocese.
The cathedral building is constructed of grey stone in the English Gothic style. Construction began in 1854 only two years after the Town of Ballarat was founded and just three years after the discovery of gold. It was finished in 1868.
