Halsa Church (Norwegian: Halsa kyrkje) is a parish church in Halsa Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Halsanaustan. The church is accessible from European route E39 via County Road 350. [1]

The church is part of the Halsa parish in the Indre Nordmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white wooden church was built in 1734 with a cross-shaped floor plan.
