Kvalsund Church (Norwegian: Kvalsund kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Hammerfest Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kvalsund. It is the church for the Kvalsund parish which is part of the Hammerfest prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.

History
The first church in Kvalsund was built in 1763. The church stood here until 1892 when it was torn down and replaced with a new church on the same site. The new church was designed by the architect Christian Thams. The church was built on unstable ground, so in 1936, the church was taken down and rebuilt on the present site.[3][4]
