The Dallas Texas Temple is the 30th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located in Dallas, Texas. Announced on April 1, 1981, by church president Spencer W. Kimball during a press conference on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, it was one of nine temples announced that day—the largest number ever announced at once at the time. Dedicated on October 19, 1984, by Gordon B. Hinckley, it became the first temple built in Texas and the South Central United States.
The temple is on a 6-acre (24,000 m²) site and has a total floor area of 46,956 square feet (4,362 m²). It has five ordinance rooms and four sealing rooms. When it was dedicated, it served nearly 120,000 Latter-day Saints in most of Texas, all of Oklahoma, and parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri. In 2024, it is one of eight temples in Texas, along with those in Austin, Fort Worth, Lubbock, San Antonio, Houston, and McAllen.
