Gjerstad Church (Norwegian: Gjerstad kyrkje) is a parish church in Osterøy municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Gjerstad. The church is part of the Osterøy parish in the Arna og Åsane deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1870 by the builder Ole Vangberg.
The church is the third church to stand on this site. The first church existed during the Middle Ages and it was a stave church. It was probably built about the year 1210. There are some items from this church that are preserved at the Bergen Museum such as a soapstone baptismal font. That church was in poor condition by the 1600s (decade) and so it was taken down and a timber church was built in 1622. That was followed by the present church in 1870.
