Stoksund Church (Norwegian: Stoksund kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Åfjord municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Revsnes in the Stoksund area of Åfjord. The church is located right at the south end of the Stokkøy Bridge from the mainland to the island of Stokkøya. It is one of two churches in the Åfjord og Stoksund parish which is part of the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.
