The Córdoba Argentina Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the Villa Belgrano neighborhood of Córdoba, Argentina. The temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 4, 2008, during the church's 178th Semiannual General Conference .[4] A later press release indicated that the temple will be built adjacent to the Argentina Córdoba Mission headquarters.[5] The Córdoba temple will be the second in Argentina, after the Buenos Aires Argentina Temple.

The groundbreaking was October 30, 2010, presided over by Neil L. Andersen, who was accompanied by Walter F. Gonzalez, Mervyn B. Arnold, and Marcos A. Aidukaitis.[6] A public open house is scheduled from Friday, 17 April 2015, through Saturday, 2 May 2015, excluding Sundays. The temple was formally dedicated by Dieter F. Uchtdorf on Sunday, May 17, 2015.[3]
