Fagerhaug Church (Norwegian: Fagerhaug kirke) is a parish church in Oppdal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fagerhaug in the northern part of Oppdal. It is the church for the Fagerhaug parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.
