Dalsfjord Church ( no, Dalsfjord kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in the municipality of Volda in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Dravlaus, on the western shore of the Dalsfjorden. It is the church for the Dalsfjord parish which is part of the Søre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1910 using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Havnæs. The church seats about 400 people. The building was consecrated by the Bishop Johan Willoch Erichsen.
