Løkken Church (Norwegian: Løkken kirke) is a parish church in Meldal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in a rural area between the nearby villages of Bjørnli and Løkken Verk. It is the church for the Løkken parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1929 by the architect Roar Tønseth. The church seats about 170 people. The church was consecrated on 13 September 1929 as a chapel. In 1999, the chapel was upgraded in status to that of a full parish church. From 1929 until 2011, the church was owned by the Orkla Group, but in 2012 it was taken over by the municipal church council. In 2011 when the transfer of ownership was approved, it was the only remaining church in Norway that was still privately owned.
