Main articles: Temple (Mormonism)

This is a chronlogical list of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with sortable columns. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also called the Mormon Church, a temple is a building dedicated to be a House of the Lord, and considered by Church members to be the most sacred structures on earth. Upon completion, temples are usually open to the public for a short period of time (an "Open House"), and then they are dedicated as a "House of the Lord," after which only members in good standing are permitted entrance, thus they are not churches but rather places of worship. Within temples, members of the Church make covenants, receive instructions, and perform rituals and ordinances. Additionally, members consider the temple a place to commune with God, seek God’s aid, understand His will, and receive personal revelation.
The sortable columns used in this list allow easy comparisons of the different facts and features of each temple. For a list that includes pictures see List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is also a list by geographic region with maps.
