Ålfoten church "(Ålfoten kyrkje)" is a cog-joint wooden "long church" in Ålfoten in the municipality of Bremanger, Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The church is a part of the Davik prestegjeld in the Nordfjord deanery of the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

Ålfoten churchm, which can seat 100 people, was built in the 17th century. The present church was built on or near the site of a 13th century stave church. For a long time the year 1678 was held to be the year of the construction, but it probably dates from about 1610. Ålfoten church is a "sokn" (sub-parish) church for the Ålfoten "sokn" in the parish of Davik.
