Følling Church (Norwegian: Følling kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Steinkjer in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Følling. The church is part of the Følling parish in the Nord-Innherad deanery in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, wooden church was completed in 1728 with a capacity of about 110 people. During a renovation in 1959, tombs under the church floor were discovered, dating back to the Bronze Age. They also found coins from the 14th century. Findings indicate that in the 15th century, there was a small stave church measuring about 4.5 by 5 metres (15 ft × 16 ft) on the same site as the present church.[1]
