Bjugn Church (Norwegian: Bjugn kirke) is a church in the municipality of Bjugn in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. [1]

The church is located along the Bjugnfjorden about 5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Botngård. The cruciform church was built in 1956 after the previous building burned in a fire in 1952. The church is a copy of the church that was built there in 1637.[2]

It is part of the Bjugn parish in the Fosen deanery which is a part of the Diocese of Nidaros.[3]
