Flekkefjord Church (Norwegian: Flekkefjord kirke) is a parish church in Flekkefjord municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the town of Flekkefjord. The church is part of the Flekkefjord parish in the Lister deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, octagonal church was built in 1833 using plans by the famous architect Hans Linstow.[1][2][3]

The church is built of wood and has 650 seats. It is characterized by Empire style, with galleries with audience seating on two floors along five of the walls. The altarpiece is a gold cross in an arch, flanked by columns carrying a gable. Also the pulpit is from 1938 and signed by Linstow. Today's church organ is built specifically for Flekkefjord church by Marcussen & Sons Orgelbyggeri in Aabenraa, Denmark, and was finished in 1983. The organ has 24 voices.[1][4]
