Sekkemo Church (Norwegian: Sekkemo kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Kvænangen in Troms county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sekkemo. The church is part of the Kvænangen parish in the Nord-Troms deanery in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white wooden church was built in 1956 and it seats about 330 people. The church was consecrated on 16 September 1956 by the Bishop Alf Wiig. It was built to replace the historic Skorpa Church as the main church for the municipality since Skorpa Church was on an island in the Kvænangen fjord and the majority of the population lived on the mainland. This church was much more accessible to the people.
