The '''Taipei Taiwan Temple''' ({{zh|t=臺灣臺北聖殿|p=Táiwān Táiběi Shèngdiàn}}) is the 31st operating [[Temple (LDS Church)|temple]] of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church), and is located in [[Taipei City]], [[Taiwan]].

Missionaries from the LDS Church first came to [[Taiwan]] in 1956. The Taipei Taiwan Temple was announced in 1981 and church leaders decided to build on the site of the mission home in the center of Taipei.
 
On November 17, 1984, [[Gordon B. Hinckley]] dedicated the Taipei Taiwan Temple. The temple is built on one-half of an acre and has over {{convert|16000|sqft|m2}} with an exterior of white ceramic tile. There are four [[ordinance (Latter Day Saints)|ordinance]] rooms and three [[sealing (Mormonism)|sealing]] rooms.

In 2020, the Taipei Taiwan Temple was closed temporarily during the year in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan|coronavirus pandemic]].<ref>Stack, Peggy Fletcher.
