Old Orre Church (Norwegian: Orre gamle kirke) is a parish church in Klepp municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Orre. The church is part of the Orre parish in the Jæren deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger. The small, stone church was built around the year 1250. It is situated on a small sandy strip of land between the lake Orrevatnet and the Orrestranda beach along the North Sea. The church is said to have been built by English monks. The church only seated about 150 people. In 1950, the "new" Orre Church was completed in the nearby village of Pollestad.
