Tuxtla Gutiérrez México Temple, Religious temple in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico.

The Tuxtla Gutiérrez Mexico Temple is a single-story modern building measuring 77 by 149 feet, with 10,700 square feet of floor space. Its exterior is clad in white marble from Torreón, Mexico, and a single central spire carries a statue of the angel Moroni. Inside are a baptistry, two ordinance rooms arranged in a two-stage progressive format, and two sealing rooms.

The First Presidency announced the temple on February 25, 1999, two days after announcing the Oaxaca temple. Groundbreaking followed on March 20, 1999, presided over by Richard E. Turley Sr., with 297 attendees. James E. Faust dedicated the building on March 12, 2000, in four sessions attended by 3,316 members, the day after dedicating the Oaxaca temple.

The temple serves members across five stakes and one district in Chiapas near the Guatemalan border, more than 18,000 people in southeastern Mexico. A choir from Tapachula sang at the 2000 dedication; many singers had rehearsed in 1997 for a visit by church president Gordon B. Hinckley that a hurricane cancelled. After the dedication, Jorge Antonio Feliciano of the Córdoba Ward said he had never seen anything like it.

The temple stands on a 1.56-acre hillside plot at Carretera a Chicoasén Kilómetro 1.4, Fraccionamiento San José Chapultepec, beside a meetinghouse and an arrival center. Only members holding a current temple recommend may enter; other visitors see the white marble exterior and the spire from outside. A public open house was held only once, from February 29 to March 4, 2000.

The site sits on a hillside above the city, facing Mactumatza, the mountain from which Howard W. Hunter dedicated the region for missionary work in 1957. A public open house before the 2000 dedication drew 6,082 visitors.
