The Articular church in Kežmarok is a wooden church in Kežmarok, Slovakia. The local Lutherans built it following a period of religious persecution, when in 1681 the Congress of Sopron permitted Lutherans, in articles 26 and 27 of an agreement, to erect two churches in each of eleven counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, nine of which are in present-day Slovakia.
