Haltdalen Stave Church (Norwegian: Haltdalen stavkirke) is a stave church originally from Haltdalen in the municipality of Holtålen in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is now on display at the Sverresborg museum in Trondheim. The church was probably built in the 1170s.
The church on display is a rebuilt version of two churches from Ålen and Haltdalen. The western wall and the portal is from the old Ålen church. This is a single-nave stave church of the east Scandinavian-style, and it is the only one that is preserved.
