Bokenäs Old Church (Swedish: Bokenäs gamla kyrka) is a church in Uddevalla Municipality, Sweden. It is part of Bokenäsets Parish, after Bokenäs Parish and several other local parishes were merged in 2010. One of the most well-preserved medieval churches in Bohuslän, it was founded at some point in the early 12th century, and has been in use since. Except for parts of the interior, the weaponhouse from the 17th century, and the tower from 1752, most of the church is original. The church is open to the public daily during the summer, and for pre-arranged visits during the rest of the year, due to maintenance costs.
