The Medford Oregon Temple is the 79th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The intent to build the temple was announced on March 15, 1999, by the church's First Presidency. It was the state's second, after the Portland Oregon Temple. It is located midway between the Oakland California and Portland Oregon temples. As of 2010 it served nine stakes in northern California and Oregon.
