Temple Hall is a predominantly residential community in northern St Andrew, Jamaica. It is named after the estate and great house which it adjoins.[1][2]

It is bounded to the east by the Wag Water River and is essentially a linear settlement strung out along a short section of the A3 road at an elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 m).[3]

To the east of the river is a 1,699 feet (518 m) ridge and triangulation station which overlooks the settlement and is also called Temple Hall.[3]
