Katedra Bedia to średniowieczna gruzińska katedra prawosławna znajdująca się w miejscowości Bedia, w dystrykcie Tkvarcheli w Abchazji, spornym regionie na wybrzeżu Morza Czarnego. Katedra Bedia została pierwotnie zbudowana pod koniec X wieku i konsekrowana w 999 roku na polecenie króla Abchazów Bagrata II, który później został królem Gruzinów jako Bagrat III i który został pochowany w kościele po swojej śmierci. Zachowane budowle pochodzą jednak z XIII-XIV wieku i obejmują kopułowy kościół w kształcie krzyża, dzwonnicę spoczywającą na północnym narteksie oraz ruiny starego pałacu. Południowa ściana głównego kościoła zawiera fragmenty współczesnych malowideł ściennych, w tym portrety Bagrata II i przedstawicieli gruzińskiej rodziny szlacheckiej Dadiani.

Bedia Cathedral is a medieval Georgian Orthodox cathedral located in Bedia, in the Tkvarcheli district of Abkhazia, a disputed region on the Black Sea coast. Bedia Cathedral was originally built at the close of the 10th century and consecrated in 999 on the behest of King Bagrat II of Abkhazians, who would go on to become King of the Georgians as Bagrat III and who was interred at the church after his death. The extant edifices, however, date back to the 13th-14th centuries and include a domed cruciform church, a belltower resting upon the northern narthex, and the ruins of an old palace. The southern wall of the main church contains fragments of contemporary murals, including the portraits of Bagrat II and the representatives of the Dadiani noble family of Georgia.
