Saint Olaf's Church (Swedish: Sankt Olofs kyrka) is a church building in Sankt Olof in the Österlen region. It is the parish church of Simrishamn Parish in the Diocese of Lund. The church is a popular pilgrimage site among different Christian denominations. This is due to the ancient Saint Olaf cult and the presence of the sacrificial site Saint Olaf's Well (Sankt Olofs källa) in Sankt Olof. The village was originally called Lunkende By, but since the church was Denmark's largest shrine dedicated to Saint Olaf, the original name was eventually forgotten, and the entire village adopted the name of the church.
