Vuku is a village in the municipality of Verdal in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Helgåa and Inna where they become the Verdalselva river. The village is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of the village of Vera and about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of the town of Verdalsøra. Vuku is also a parish covering the central part of Verdal municipality, with Vuku Church located in this village.

The 0.22-square-kilometre (54-acre) village has a population (2018) of 226 and a population density of 1,027 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,660/sq mi).[1]

In the late 1800s, a group of parish members immigrated to the United States, where they established a sister church in what is now Foxhome, Minnesota. In 2015, the members of the Minnesotan Vukku Lutheran Church celebrated 125 years of history.
