Mo Church (Norwegian: Mo kirke) is a parish church in Surnadal Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Mo in the upper Surnadalen valley. The church is part of the Mo parish in the Indre Nordmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The church is one of five Y-shaped churches in Norway. The red, wooden church was built in 1728 and the unique design came from the architect Erik Holten. The church seats about 200 people.

The present church was built in 1728 to replace an earlier stave church that dated back to the 16th century. Possible burial mounds from the Viking Age dating back to around 1000 are located near the church.
