The Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple is the 95th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the first built in the state of Oklahoma. Located in Yukon, a suburb of Oklahoma City, the temple was announced on March 14, 1999, and at the time of its completion served Latter-day Saints across Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas, and Missouri. A Groundbreaking occurred on July 3, 1999, with Rex D. Pinegar, a church general authority, presiding. The temple was dedicated on July 30, 2000, by James E. Faust of the church's First Presidency.

The temple has a single-story design with a four-tiered tower with a gold-colored statue of the angel Moroni on its top. The exterior is composed of light beige limestone, is 10,769 square feet, and has two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms, and a baptistry. In October 2017, the temple closed for extensive interior and exterior renovations. It was rededicated on May 19, 2019, by Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency.
