Grundtvig's Church (Grundtvigs Kirke) in Copenhagen, Denmark is a rare example of expressionist church architecture and due to its unusual appearance; it is one of the best-known churches in the city.

The church is named after the Danish philosopher and hymn writer N. F. S. Grundtvig and was built by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint. The work took place mainly from 1921 to 1926 when the tower section was completed, leading to the initial inauguration of the so-called Tower Church in 1927. Further work on the interior and on adjacent buildings continued until 1940 and was completed by Klint's son architect Kaare Klint after his father's death in 1930. The church stands at the centre of a residential development (1924–36), also in yellow bricks, designed by Jensen-Klint in harmony with the church.

The most striking feature of the church is its west façade with the 49 m (160 ft) tall bell tower. It is an imposing façade.
