Delsbo Church, Church building in Hudiksvall Municipality, Sweden

Delsbo Church is a church building with an adjacent cemetery in Hudiksvall Municipality, forming an architectural ensemble in the Gävleborg region. The complex includes the main structure and surrounding burial grounds that together compose a preserved ecclesiastical site.

A first stone church stood here in the 13th century, later extended west to 40 by 8.5 metres. A 1740 rectory fire spread to the bell tower and church, destroying both. Anders Olofsson Romberg from Leksand led the rebuilding in 1740–1741, and farmer Jonas Eriksson added a bell tower in 1742. In 1892–1893 architects Carl Axel Ekholm and Fritz Eckert rebuilt it as a three-nave basilica, reconsecrated on the first Sunday of Advent 1893.

The church keeps medieval sculptures, among them a Virgin Mary, and a door ring with runic inscription probably from the 13th century. The pulpit was made in 1892 to drawings by Fritz Eckert, its images painted in 1938 by Gunnar Torhamn. A children's altar shrine shaped as Delsbo Church was made in 2022 after drawings by Joakim Johansson.

The church stands without a tower; its separate bell tower was built in 1742 by the farmer Jonas Eriksson from Delsbo, so look for the two structures apart. The interior was renovated in 1973 under Professor Sven Ivar Lind, partly returning it to its 1893 appearance. Visitors enter the nave beneath the 1893 basilica form, rebuilt on the old walls up to the window sills.

The church's 1958 organ has a facade dating from 1745, and its two Grönlund organs include a choir organ bought in 1982 from Hedlundakyrkan in Umeå. A door ring with runic inscription, probably from the 13th century, survives inside, along with several medieval sculptures including one of the Virgin Mary.
