Old Ålgård Church (Norwegian: Ålgård gamle kirke) is a historic parish church in Gjesdal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ålgård. The church is part of the Ålgård parish in the Jæren deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger. The white, wooden church was built in 1917 in an art nouveau style by the architect Ole Stein. The church, which seats about 250 people, was consecrated on 11 May 1917 by the Bishop Bernt Støylen. The church cost about 29,000 kr to build.
After 98 years in use, the church became too small for the congregation and it was replaced in 2015 by the new Ålgård Church, located directly across the street. The old church is no longer used for regular services, but it can be used for special occasions such as weddings.
