The Meridian Idaho Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Meridian, Idaho.[2] The announcement was made by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 4, 2011, during the church's semi-annual general conference.

On December 19, 2011 the LDS Church's Public Affairs office announced that the Meridian Idaho Temple would be constructed at 7345 North Linder Road. This location is a few blocks north of the intersection of North Linder Road and Chinden Blvd.[1]

David A. Bednar, of the church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, presided at the temple's groundbreaking on August 23, 2014.[3] On January 26, 2017, the LDS Church announced that a public open house is scheduled to be held from October 21 through November 11, 2017, excluding Sundays. The temple is scheduled for dedication on November 19, 2017.[4]
