St. Olav's Church, Serampore, Protestant church in Serampore, India.

The church building features an open portico with twin columns, a bell tower, and a clock positioned above the main entrance point.

The church was constructed in 1806 during the Danish colonial period when Serampore was part of Fredriksnagore, a Denmark-Norway colony spanning 50 square kilometers.

The congregation holds services in Bengali, with the church walls displaying Danish epitaphs and the monogram of Danish King Christian the Seventh.

The church offers free health clinics and educational support programs for children through local volunteer doctors and retired teachers.

One of the church bells carries the inscription 'FREDERICKS VÆRCK ANNO 1804', indicating its manufacture at a Danish factory.
