Kvam Church (Norwegian: Kvam kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Steinkjer municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kvam, along the lake Snåsavatnet. It is the church for the Kvam 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 1878 by the architect Rasmus M. Overrein.[1][2]

The church was consecrated on 13 November 1878 by Bishop Andreas Grimelund. It was built to replace the old church, which was a small stave church that stood nearby in western Kvam from 1671 until 1878.[3]
