Følling Church (Norwegian: Følling kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Steinkjer municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Følling. It is the church for the Følling parish which is part of the Nord-Innherad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1728 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 110 people.[1][2]

During a renovation in 1959, tombs under the church floor were discovered, dating back to the Bronze Age. They also found coins from the 14th century. Findings indicate that in the 15th century, there was a small stave church measuring about 4.5 by 5 metres (15 ft × 16 ft) on the same site as the present church.[3]
