Edøy Church (Norwegian: Edøy kirke) is a parish church in Smøla Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Edøy on the southern coast of the island of Smøla. The church is part of the Edøy parish in the Ytre Nordmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white wooden church was built in 1885 to replace the Old Edøy Church as the main church for the municipality of Edøy. The old church was on the island of Edøya, but this new church was built on the island of Smøla to be closer to the majority of the parish's population. The church was designed by the architects Jacob Digre and Johan Peter Digre. The church seats about 365 people.[1][2]
