Elsfjord Church (Norwegian: Elsfjord kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vefsn Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Elsfjord. It is the church for the Elsfjord parish which is part of the Indre Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

The church seats about 200 people.[1][2] It was consecrated on 18 September 1955 and it cost a total of 247,000 kr, quite a bit over the planned budget.[3]
