Tjärstad Church, Church building in Kinda Municipality, Sweden.

Tjärstad Church is a stone and brick church with a white-plastered exterior, a tall square west tower topped by a tiered green dome and lantern, and a nave under a steep brown-tiled roof. The tower carries a clock face, and the nave has arched windows. It stands on a grassy lot bordered by a low wall.

A round church from the late 12th century, resembling the old church of Vårdsberg, first stood here, with a wooden tower on its round house and a bell stack to the north. It was extended in 1733, then demolished between 1775 and 1778 and replaced by the present stone and brick church. The west tower was added in 1794–1795, when the west gable was removed and the church lengthened about four metres.

The cemetery holds the grave of author Torgny Lindgren, who lived in the old rectory beside the church until his death in 2017. Next to the church stands the parish hall built in the 1840s, which housed a school and an old people's home before passing into private ownership in 2011.

The church stands on a grassy lot bordered by a low wall, with a road running past below it; the tower entrance on the west face has an arched doorway with a semicircular window above. The cemetery around the church includes a memorial grove and the grave of author Torgny Lindgren, who lived in the old rectory next door until his death in 2017. The adjacent parish cottage, built in the 1840s, is now privately owned.
