Kautokeino Church (Norwegian: Kautokeino kirke) is a parish church in Kautokeino Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kautokeino. The church is part of the Kautokeino parish in the Indre Finnmark deanery in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The red wooden church was built by the architect Finn Bryn in 1965 to replace the older church that was burned down by the Germans near the end of World War II. The present church seats about 300 people. The previous church building was built in 1701 and it was one of the oldest buildings in all of Finnmark when the Germans burned it down.
