Valle Church (Norwegian: Valle kirke) is a parish church in Lindesnes municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vigeland. The church is part of the Valle parish in the Mandal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden, cruciform church was built in 1793. The church seats about 600 people.
The first time a church in Valle was mentioned in historical records was in 1370, but it is not known exactly where that church was located. In 1577, Peder Claussøn Friis built a church near the present location. That church was in use until 1792 when it was torn down to make room for the present church.
