Os Church (Norwegian: Os kyrkje) is the main parish church in Os municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Osøyro. The church is part of the Os parish in the Fana deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1870 by the architect Ole Vangberg. The church seats about 600 people.

The first church on this site was built in the Middle Ages. The church was probably a stave church and it was in existence since before the year 1306. That church was torn down and replaced in 1624. In 1869, that church was torn down and replaced with the present church building. There are several artifacts in the present church that are from some of the previous churches including the baptismal font, candlesticks, church bell, and pulpit.
