Nol Church (Swedish: Nols kyrka) is a church in Nödinge-Nol, Västergötland, Sweden. It belongs to the parish of Starrkärr-Kilanda in the Diocese of Gothenburg. The church was built in 1987 by the architect Kjell Malmqvist, replacing an old mission building. The church bell was cast at the Bergholtz bell foundry in Sigtuna.
