Lebesby Church (Norwegian: Lebesby kirke) is a parish church in Lebesby Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lebesby. The church is part of the Lebesby parish in the Hammerfest deanery in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The brown wooden church was built in 1962, eighteen years after the old church (built in 1880) was burned down during the German withdrawal from Finnmark during World War II.

The present church was designed by the architect Odd Borgrud Pedersen, and the church seats about 170 people.[1] It was consecrated in 1962.[2]
