Rörvikskyrkan is a district church serving the northern part of Överluleå parish in Boden, Norrbotten. It stands on Prästholmen, a short distance from the older Överluleå church, and is run jointly by the Church of Sweden and the EFS mission society.

Rörvikskyrkan was built in 1973 as a shared church for the Church of Sweden's Överluleå parish and the EFS, a Lutheran mission organisation that has long worked alongside the established church in Sweden. This joint arrangement shapes its character as a modern, functional place of worship rather than a historic monument.

The church interior was renovated in the autumn of 2006, when among other changes a new window was added to the wall of the chancel end, altering the light within the worship space.

A freestanding bell tower of open timber construction stands just outside the church, holding a single church bell. This simple structure is a distinctive feature for visitors exploring the church grounds.

Overall, Rörvikskyrkan is a modest twentieth-century building of local significance, notable chiefly for its ecumenical role and its proximity to the older Överluleå kyrka half a kilometre to the west.
