Lensvik Church (Norwegian: Lensvik kirke) is a church in the municipality of Agdenes in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lensvik, along the Trondheimsfjord, just north of Selbekken.
The church was built in 1863 so that people living in the Lensvik district of Rissa could have a church closer to them so that they wouldn't have to cross the fjord to get to church. The architect Christian Heinrich Grosch designed the church which was consecrated on 26 October 1863 by Bishop Andreas Grimelund.[1]
