The Orem Utah Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Orem, Utah. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 5, 2019, by church president Russell M. Nelson, during the church's general conference. The temple is the first in the city of Orem, the sixth in Utah County, and the 28th in the state of Utah.

On December 11, 2019, it was announced the temple would be built on a 15.39 acres (6.23 ha) site owned by the church. The site is south of Interstate 15's University Parkway exit on Geneva Road, near the Orem UTA Frontrunner station. The site includes the three-story, 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2) temple and a separate 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) meetinghouse. With its completion, Utah County is now the county with the most temples in the state. It is the third temple in a four-mile radius, and the 188th in the church.
