Oaxaca México Temple, Mormon temple in Candiani district, Oaxaca, Mexico.

The Oaxaca Mexico Temple is a religious building in the Candiani district featuring white marble cladding and a distinctive spire design. The structure houses multiple rooms for religious ceremonies and is located on Avenida Universidad.

Announced by the First Presidency on February 23, 1999, the temple was built in under a year: Carl B. Pratt presided at the groundbreaking on March 13, 1999, and James E. Faust dedicated it on March 11, 2000, his first dedication. It was the 74th operating temple and Mexico's fifth, serving a district of seven stakes and one district with 26,624 members.

The temple serves about 36,000 members in 10 stakes and districts around Oaxaca, and worshippers also travel from Mitla, the Monte Albán area, Tehuacán, Salina Cruz, Huatulco, Pinotepa and Puerto Escondido. Before it was built, members saved for trips to the Mexico City Mexico Temple, over 225 miles away; one young woman sold matches, oil and boxes to fund her attendance.

The temple stands on a 1.87-acre site on a major boulevard in the Fraccionamiento Real de Candiani, next to a meetinghouse. It is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so the interior is reserved for members with a recommend; other visitors see the white marble exterior, the single spire and the angel Moroni statue from the street. A public open house was held only from February 28 to March 4, 2000.

The temple was announced on 23 February 1999 and its groundbreaking followed just 18 days later, on 13 March 1999 — the shortest gap between announcement and groundbreaking of any LDS temple. That same day, ground was broken for the Nashville and Kona temples, the first time three temples reached that stage on one date.
