[FIN] Lemlandin kirkko on Ahvenanmaan Lemlandissa yksi Suomen vanhimmista kirkkorakennuksista. Harmaakivisen pitkäkirkon runkohuone on Ålands Kyrkor -hankkeen puulustotutkimusten mukaan ajoitettu 1200-luvun loppuun

Kirkossa on Veikko Virtasen rakentamat 14-äänikertaiset urut vuodelta 1960.

Urkurakentamo Veikko Virtanen Oy on johtava kirkkourkujen valmistaja Suomessa. Tehdas on rakentanut käsityönä yli 150 urut. Perustaja Veikko Virtanen on jo 95-vuotias ja hänen poikansa jatkavat urkujen rakentamista.
