The list of churches in Bjørgvin is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Bjørgvin in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Vestland county. The Diocese is based at the Bergen Cathedral in the city of Bergen in Bergen Municipality.
The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (). Each municipality may have one or more parishes () within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (). Each parish has one or more local church.
The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time. The Laksevåg prosti (created in 1990) in Bergen was dissolved in 2013 and its churches were divided between the Bergen domprosti and the Fana prosti. Also in 2013, the old Ytre Sogn prosti was dissolved. The old deanery included Gulen, Solund, Hyllestad, Høyanger, Balestrand, and Vik municipalities. The municipalities of Gulen and Solund were transferred to the Nordhordland prosti, which includes the northern municipalities in the old Hordaland county. Hyllestad and Høyanger municipalities were transferred to Sunnfjord prosti, and Balestrand and Vik municipalities were merged with the old Indre Sogn prosti and it was renamed Sogn prosti.
In 2014, the Midhordland prosti was dissolved and its churches were divided between Fana prosti and Hardanger og Voss prosti. Also in 2014, the parishes in nearby Osterøy Municipality were transferred from Nordhordland prosti to the Arna og Åsane prosti. At that time, its name could have been changed to "Arna, Åsane and Osterøy deanery" but that was considered to be too long a name. In 2015, the Norwegian Department of Culture changed the name to Åsane prosti.
In 2017, the diocese created a new deanery called Bergensdalen prosti to help relieve the work in the large deaneries in the city of Bergen.
Bergen domprosti This arch-deanery () covers the central part of the city of Bergen. The deanery is headquartered at the Bergen Cathedral in the city of Bergen in Bergen Municipality.
The Bergen domprosti has been in operation for a long time.

In 2013, the old Laksevåg prosti was dissolved and the parishes of Laksevåg, Nygård, Loddefjord, and Olsvik were moved back into this deanery (the remainder of the old Laksevåg prosti became part of Fana prosti).
