Saint Jetmund Church (Norwegian: Sankt Jetmund kyrkje) is a former parish church of the Church of Norway in Vanylven Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Åheim, on the eastern shore of the Vanylvsfjorden. It is now a museum and historic site, but the church was once the main church for the Vanylven parish which is now part of the Søre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The marble and stone church was rebuilt in a long church design between 1931 and 1957 using plans drawn up by the architect Johan Lindstrøm and the historian Cato Engen.
The marble and stone church was originally built in 1150 and torn down in 1864 when it was replaced by the newly built Vanylven Church in nearby Slagnes. The church was rebuilt as a museum in 1957.
