Vik Church (Norwegian: Vik kyrkje) is a parish church in Vik Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vikøyri. The church is part of the Vik parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The church was built in 1877 to replace the old Hove Church and Hopperstad Stave Church. The two older churches each served different neighboring parishes, and when the new church was built, the two small parishes were merged into one parish. The white, wooden church, which has 450 seats, was consecrated on 23 August 1877 by Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. The architect Haakon Thorsen made the designs for the building.
