The Tallahassee Florida Temple' is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Tallahassee, Florida.

The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Russell M. Nelson in April 2020, during the Sunday afternoon session of the church's general conference. There were a total of eight temples announced at the same time.

On June 5, 2021, a groundbreaking to signify beginning of construction was held, with James B. Martino of the Seventy, presiding.

This will be the church's third temple in Florida where the church reports there are approximately 160,000 members, as of April 202.[3]
