Måsøy Church (Norwegian: Måsøy kirke) is a parish church in Måsøy Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Måsøy on the island of Måsøya. The church is part of the Måsøy parish in the Hammerfest deanery in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white concrete church was built in 1953 and seats about 120 people.

The first church on Måsøya was built in 1747 when the old Ingøy Church was moved here and rebuilt. That church lasted for some time. A new church was built on Måsøya in 1865. Like most other churches in Finnmark, Måsøy Church was burned down by the Germans during the evacuation of Finnmark in 1944. A new church was completed in 1953 to replacet the old one. It was built a little south of the old church site. The new church was designed by architect Eyvind Moestue to have the same principal setup as the earlier timber church built in 1865.
