Otrøy Church (Norwegian: Otrøy kyrkje; historical: Sør-Aukra Church) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Uglvik, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) northeast of the village of Midsund on the island of Otrøya. It is the main church for the Midsund parish which is part of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a rectangular style in 1878 using plans by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 250 people.^[1]^[2]

This was the main church of the old Sør-Aukra municipality, and at that time it was called Sør-Aukra church.
