Henning Church (Norwegian: Henning kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Steinkjer municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vekre. It is the church for the Henning 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 1872 by the architect Rasmus M. Overrein. The church seats about 360 people.[1][2]

It was built on a site that has been the location of several churches since (at least) the 13th century. The first record of the existence of the church dates back to 1289 when it was called Bagabu church, the old name for the Henning area.[3]
