Ullensvang Church (Norwegian: Ullensvang kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lofthus. It is the church for the Ullensvang parish which is part of the Hardanger og Voss prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The large stone church was built in a long church design around the year 1250 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 350 people.[1][2]

The church was built in the 13th century and has been remodeled and expanded several times over the centuries. Colloquially, the church is known as the Hardangerdomen (lit. Hardanger Dome) due to its size, history, and central location in the Hardanger region of the county.[3]
