Chichester Cathedral is a 1834 watercolor by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a cathedral with a tall tower and a large building with a pointed roof. There are trees in front of the cathedral, and the sky is light grey. The painting is done in watercolour, which gives it a soft and delicate look. The artist has used gentle colours to depict the scene.

The work was shown at the Royal Academy exhibition that year alongside other drawings of Old Sarum and Stoke Poges Church. Constable’s visit to Arundel in July and Petworth in September of the same year provides context for his travels during the period of its creation.
