Lygra Church (Norwegian: Lygra kyrkje) is a parish church in Lindås municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located on the small island of Luro. The church is part of the Lygra parish in the Nordhordland deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1892 by the architect Petter Gabrielsen. There has been a church on this island since the Middle Ages, and there has been at least three church buildings on this site before the present church was built. The first one was built before 1321 and it probably was a stave church. That one was replaced by a timber church in the 17th century. That church burned down in 1772 and a new church was built to replace it. That church stood until 1892 when it was torn down to make room for the present church.
