Sauda Church (Norwegian: Sauda kyrkje) is the main parish church in Sauda municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the town of Sauda. The church is part of the Sauda parish in the Ryfylke deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger.

The white, wooden church was built in 1866 to replace the old Sauda Church which was located in the nearby village of Saudasjøen (the old church was torn down after this church was completed). The church was built using designs by the famous church architect Hans Linstow. The church was consecrated on 26 September 1866 by the parish priest P. R. Hoffgaard on behalf of the Bishop Jacob von der Lippe.
