Hæstad Church (Norwegian: Hæstad kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Dønna Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hestad on the southern part of the island of Dønna. It is one of the churches for the Dønna parish which is part of the Nord-Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1913 using plans drawn up by the architect Victor Nordan, the son of Jacob Wilhelm Nordan.
