This list of churches in Troms is a list of the Church of Norway churches in Troms county, Norway. The churches are all part of the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland along with the churches in Finnmark county. The diocese is based at the Tromsø Cathedral in the city of Tromsø.

The list is divided into five sections, one for each deanery (prosti) in the diocese. Each prosti is led by a provost (prost). Administratively within each deanery, the churches are divided by municipalities which have their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipal church council may be made up of one or more parishes (sokn), each of which may have their own council (soknerådet). Each parish may have one or more congregations in it.[1]

Tromsø domprosti

This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) is home to the Tromsø Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. Tromsø domprosti covers the two municipalities of Tromsø and Karlsøy in Troms county. The deanery is headquartered at Tromsø Cathedral in the city of Tromsø. Administratively, the territory of Svalbard is also part of the Tromsø domprosti, although it is not part of Troms county. The Tromsø arch-deanery was been around since the Reformation in Norway. Before 1922, it was called the Tromsø stiftsprosti.[2]
