The Church of St. Michael the Archangel (Lithuanian: Šv. arkangelo Mykolo bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Gargždai, Lithuania. The church was constructed in 1989-1990 on the site of the former church, which was burned down during World War II in 1941, however a belfry constructed in the 19th century and a Classical style chapel remained from the period of the old church.

The tower clock was donated to the church by the Lithuanian Australians. In 2016, a statute of Saint Michael the Archangel created by the Lithuanian sculptor Algirdas Bosas was added to the façade of the church. In 2020, exterior lighting was installed in order to illuminate the church at night. In 2022, new bells with the coat of arms of Gargždai were installed at the church.
