The Cobán Guatemala Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Cobán's 2nd ward. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 5, 2019, by church president Russell M. Nelson, during general conference. It is Guatemala's third temple, following the Guatemala City Guatemala and Quetzaltenango Guatemala temples.
The temple is located on a 5.4 acre site, adjacent to an existing meetinghouse. It is one-story tall and has about 8,800 square feet. The site also includes a patron housing facility and a meetinghouse.

Taylor, a general authority and president of the LDS Church's Central America Area, presiding. The temple was dedicated by Dale G. Renlund on June 9, 2024.
