Bjugn Church (Norwegian: Bjugn kirke) is a parish church in Bjugn municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located along the Bjugnfjorden about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the village of Botngård. It is the main church for the Bjugn parish which is part of the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The red, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1956 by the architect John Egil Tverdahl. The church seats about 250 people. The previous church, built in 1637, burned down in a fire in 1952. The present church was rebuilt on the same location using the same design as the previous church.[1][2]
