Ransäter Church (Swedish: Ransäters kyrka) is a wood church, located in Ransäter in Värmland, Sweden.

In the 17th century a lumber longhousechurch was built in Ransäter, after initiative from Johan Börjesson Carlberg. In the 1740s the church was rebuilt as a cross church, but on 6 December 1983 the church burnt down. The present wood church opened on Candlemas Day 1986, where the architect was Jerk Alton. The church also includes pictures by Sven-Bertil Svensson. The pipe organ in the church was built in 1988 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri.
