Deseret Book (Listeni/dɛz.əˈrɛt./) is the largest Latter-day Saint book publisher and also owns a chain of LDS bookstores in the Western United States. Over 150 people work in its Salt Lake City headquarters.

Deseret Book is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, the holding company for business firms owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Deseret Book is a for-profit corporation registered in Utah. Deseret Book publishes under four imprints with media ranging from works explaining LDS theology and doctrine, LDS-related fiction, electronic resources, and sound recordings such as Mormon Tabernacle Choir albums.

The Deseret Book Company was created in 1919 from a merger of the Deseret News Bookstore and the Deseret Sunday School Union Bookstore. Both of these Utah bookstores trace their roots to George Q. Cannon, a Latter-day Saint General Authority. "Deseret" is a word from the Book of Mormon that is said to mean "honeybee."
