Arnafjord Church (Norwegian: Arnafjord kyrkje) is a parish church in Vik Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nese, along the Arnafjorden. The church is part of the Arnafjord parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church, which has 170 seats, was consecrated on 21 October 1880. The master builder John Gjertsen from Sogndal made the designs, while builder Anders Korsvold was responsible for the building. This church was built to replace an older church that was in poor condition. The old church was built in 1645 and it sat just a little north and west of the present church.
