Eikefjord Church (Norwegian: Eikefjord kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Kinn Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Eikefjord. It is the church for the Eikefjord parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1812 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. Originally, it was built in a long church design, but in 1874, the church was enlarged into a cruciform design. The church seats about 350 people.[1][2]
