The Mesa Arizona Temple is the seventh operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 1, 1919, by church president Heber J. Grant, during general conference. Located in the city of Mesa, Arizona, it is the first of the church's nine temples built or planned in the state as of September 2025, with three of those in Maricopa County. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 25, 1922, and the dedication, conducted by Grant, was on October 23, 1927.
