Kiruna Church (Swedish: Kiruna kyrka) is a church building in Kiruna, Sweden, and is one of Sweden's largest wooden buildings. The church was built between 1909 and 1912, designed by the architect Gustaf Wickman. The church exterior is built in a Gothic Revival style, while the altar is in Art Nouveau. The church was moved during two days in August 2025 a distance of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the east due to subsidence from the Kiruna mine.
