Vereide Church (Norwegian: Vereide kyrkje) is a Medieval era, parish church in Gloppen Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vereide, along the eastern coast of the Gloppefjorden.
The church is part of the Gloppen parish in the Nordfjord deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, stone church was originally built in 13th century and the oldest parts of the present church date back to that time. This is the oldest surviving stone church in the Nordfjord region, and it was one of the original 4 churches built in the Nordfjord-Sunnfjord region (in addition to Eid Church, Kinn Church, and Askvoll Church). The church was extensively remodeled in the 17th century and a few times since then. The present church seats about 460 people.
