Fresvik Church (Norwegian: Fresvik kyrkje) is a parish church in Vik Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fresvik, along the southern shore of the Sognefjorden. The church is part of the Fresvik parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church, which has 200 seats, was consecrated on 29 June 1881 by the local Dean Jacob Edward Smith. The architect Johannes Henrik Nissen made the designs for the building.
