Aulstad Church (Norwegian: Aulstad kirke) is "long church" (Norwegian: langkirke) dating from 1864 in the municipality of Gausdal in Oppland county, Norway.[1][2]

The church is built of wood and can accommodate 150 people.[1] During its construction, material was reused from the old Svatsum Church (razed in 1860). Furnishings were also transferred from the old Svatsum Church. Among other items, an altar and a wooden carving by Eistein Kjørn were moved from Svatsum to Aulstad.[3]

The church can be reached via Norwegian County Road 255. There is a cemetery next to the church.
