Religion in the Faroe Islands is dominated by the Lutheran Christianity. Historically linked to both Norway and Denmark, the islands' religious evolution reflects a blend of Norse traditions and Danish influences. Although the Lutheran Church remains predominant, the islands also host an array of other religious groups, including smaller Protestant denominations, Catholics, and followers of non-Trinitarian religions.

After gaining religious independence in 2007, the Church of the Faroe Islands became the established religion. Before this shift, the Church of Denmark played a pivotal role in the spiritual life of the Faroese people. Notably, the religious fervor and observance in the Faroe Islands are considerably more intense than in Denmark, making it an essential facet of the Faroese cultural and social landscape.
