The Cobán Guatemala Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) that is being built in Cobán's 2nd ward, and is estimated to be completed in late 2023.[2] It will be Guatemala's third temple, with the two other ones being the Guatemala City Guatemala and Quetzaltenango Guatemala temples.[3]

The temple is located 5.4 acre site, adjacent to an existing meetinghouse.[2] It will be one-story tall and have about 8,800 square feet of space.[4][2] Plans call for a patron housing facility and a meetinghouse will be built on the site as well.[5][2]

A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify beginning of construction, was held on November 14, 2020, with Brian K. Taylor, president of the LDS Church's Central America Area, presiding.[3]
