Scottish Rite Temple, Masonic temple in Santa Fe, United States

The Scottish Rite Temple is a Moorish Revival Masonic temple in Santa Fe, New Mexico, built in 1911–1912 by the Los Angeles firm Hunt and Burns. Its design is loosely based on a gatehouse of the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra in Spain, and its walls are clad in pink stucco. The building shares a tower with Hunt and Burns's Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, minus the Islamic entry.

Construction began in 1911 and was completed in 1912. In 1909 The Daily New Mexican announced that Isaac H. Rapp had won the commission, but his Neo-classical perspective was deemed "not satisfactory" within a week. The Los Angeles firm Hunt and Burns then designed a Moorish Revival building loosely based on a gatehouse of the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

The building served historically as a clubhouse for Santa Fe's Scottish Rite Masons, and the lodge is known as the Santa Fe Lodge of Perfection. Its Moorish Revival look, modelled loosely on a gatehouse of the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra, sets it apart from the Pueblo Revival and Neo-classical buildings around it. In 2016 it appeared on screen as a filming location for the Tina Fey film Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

The building sits in a central area of Santa Fe and is relatively accessible by foot or vehicle. Since it remains an active gathering space for members, visitors should check ahead about access during specific times or events.

The building was added to both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties during the 1980s. This dual recognition reflects its importance as both an architectural and cultural landmark across different levels of protection.
