Map of the church deaneries in the Diocese of 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.
