'''''Kirchenkampf''''' ({{IPA-de|ˈkɪʁçn̩kampf|lang}}, "perjuangan gereja") adalah sebuah istilah Jerman terhadap keadaan gereja-gereja Kristen di Jerman pada zaman [[Nazi]] (1933–1945). Terkadang dipakai ambigu, istilah tersebut merujuk kepada salah satu "perjuangan gereja" berbeda atau lebih: persengketaan internal antar umat Kristen Jerman (''Deutsche Christen'') dan [[Gereja yang Mengaku]] (''Bekennende Kirche'') atas kontrol gereja-gereja Protestan; pertarungan antara rezim Nazi dan [[Landeskirche|badan-badan gereja Protestan]]; dan pertarungan antara rezim Nazi dan [[Gereja Katolik Roma]].. Sekitar dua per tiga orang Jerman adalah Protestan, dan sepertia Katolik saat Nazi berkuasa. Beberapa sejarawan menyatakan bahwa tujuan Hitler dalam ''Kirchenkampf'' tak hanya sekadar perjuangan ideologi, namuntetapi pengikisan gereja-gereja.<ref name="Controversial Concordats">Frank J.
