Ervik Church (Norwegian: Ervik kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Stad Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ervika at the northern end of the Stadlandet peninsula. It is the church for the Ervik parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, brick church was built in a long church design in 1970 using plans drawn up by the architectural firm Arnstein Arneberg. The church seats about 180 people.[1][2]

The church is the location to a memorial to those killed during the sinking of the SS Sanct Svithun during World War II.
