Map of the church deaneries in Nord-Trøndelag county:
  Namdal prosti
  Nord-Innherad prosti
  Sør-Innherad prosti
  Stjørdal prosti (also includes parts of Sør-Trøndelag county)
  Fosen prosti (also includes parts of Sør-Trøndelag county)

This list of churches in Nord-Trøndelag is a list of the Church of Norway churches in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The churches are all part of the Diocese of Nidaros. The list is divided into five sections, one for each Deanery (prosti) in the diocese, although some deaneries overlap counties with parts in both Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag. Administratively within each deanery, the churches are divided by municipalities which have their own church council (fellesråd) and then into parishes (sokn) which have their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish may have one or more congregations in it.[1]

Fosen prosti

This deanery covers most of the Fosen peninsula in Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag counties. The area lies between the Norwegian Sea and the Trondheimsfjorden. It includes the seven municipalities of Osen, Roan, Åfjord, Bjugn, Ørland, Rissa, and Leksvik. Leksvik is in Nord-Trøndelag while the others are all in Sør-Trøndelag county. The deanery is divided up into 14 parishes. The deanery is headquartered at Stadsbygd Church in the village of Stadsbygd in Rissa municipality.
