Tvedestrand Church (Norwegian: Tvedestrand kirke) is a parish church in Tvedestrand municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the town of Tvedestrand. It is the main church for the Tvedestrand parish which is part of the Aust-Nedenes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The red brick church was built in a "long church" style in 1860 by the architect Georg Andreas Bull.
