The Tohmajärvi Church (Finnish: Tohmajärven kirkko) is the 18th-century wooden church located on the shores of Lake Tohmajärvi, about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of Kemie, the administrative center of the Tohmajärvi municipality in North Karelia, Finland.

The building is the oldest wooden church in North Karelia.
