Old Søgne Church (Norwegian: Søgne gamle kirke) is a historic parish church in Søgne municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the southeastern part of the village of Tangvall. The church is part of the Søgne parish in the Mandal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, timber-framed church was built around the year 1640 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 270 people. The "new" Søgne Church was built in 1861 to replace this (smaller) church. Since that time, this church is no longer regularly used, but it is available for special occasions such as baptisms and weddings.
