Rørstad Church (Norwegian: Rørstad kirke) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Sørfold Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the isolated village of Rørstad. It was once the main church for the Sørfold parish which is part of the Salten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1761 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 300 people.
