Rørstad Church (Norwegian: Rørstad kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Sørfold in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the isolated village of Rørstad. The church is part of the Sørfold parish in the Salten deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white wooden church was built in 1761. It seats about 300 people.

Rørstad Church was the main church for Sørfold parish from 1761 until 1880 when Røsvik Church became the main church for the parish. The church is located in the isolated village of Rørstad where there are no real permanent residents anymore due to its lack of a road connection to the rest of the municipality. Rørstad is now mostly a collection of summer cottages, so the church no longer used regularly, except for special worship services that are held twice each summer.
