List of churches in Sør-Hålogaland

This list of churches in Sør-Hålogaland is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Nordland county. The diocese is based at the Bodø Cathedral in the city of Bodø in Bodø Municipality.

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church. The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time.

This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) is home to the Bodø Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. Bodø domprosti covers the five municipalities of Bodø, Gildeskål, Meløy, Røst, and Værøy. The deanery is headquartered at Bodø Cathedral in the town of Bodø in Bodø Municipality.

This deanery was established as Bodø prosti on 1 June 1901 when the old Søndre Salten prosti was divided into Bodø prosti (Bodø, Bodin, Kjerringøy, and Folda) and Søndre Salten prosti (Gildeskål, Beiarn, Skjerstad, and Saltdal). The deanery was upgraded to an arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) in 1952 when the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland was created.
