Bragernes Church is a church consecrated in 1871 in Drammen, Buskerud County in Norway. It was designed by Ernst Norgrenn in Neo Gothic style.
The altarpiece, "The Resurrection" was painted by Adolph Tidemand. It was copied in many Norwegian churches. The church organ has 38 votes and was built in romantic style of the Danish organ builder Carsten Lund.
