Jostedal Church (Norwegian: Jostedal kyrkje) is a parish church in Luster Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Jostedal. The church is part of the Jostedal parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church, which has 120 seats, was built around 1660 by builder Hans Ottesen Ravn. The present church is the third church to be located here. The first church was a stave church that was probably built in the 13th century. It stood for over 300 years before it was replaced by a new stave church in 1553. That stave church was torn down in 1660 when the present church was completed.
