Havøysund Church (Norwegian: Havøysund kirke) is the main parish church in Måsøy Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Havøysund on the island of Havøya. The church is part of the Måsøy parish in the Hammerfest deanery in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. Like most other churches in Finnmark, Havøysund church was burned down by the Germans during the evacuation of Finnmark in 1944. The new church, which was completed in 1960, is a church built of whitewashed concrete and dark wooden timbers and it was designed by architect Esben Poulsson. The church seats about 300 people.
