Sankt Halvards kyrkoruin is a church building in Ytterby, Kungälv Municipality, which is now a ruin. Before 1870 it served as the parish church of Ytterby församling.

The church was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style with a rectangular chancel, on what was then Norwegian land.

Today the church is a ruin surrounded by Sankt Halvards kyrkogård (churchyard).
