The Paris France Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Le Chesnay, a suburb of Paris, France.

Church president Thomas S. Monson announced that a Latter-day Saint temple would be constructed in France on July 15, 2011. New temples are generally announced during a church general conference. However, French newspapers reported the church's plans to build the temple at Le Chesnay, which prompted the early announcement, three months prior to the October 2011 conference.

The Paris France Temple is the first temple built in Metropolitan France, and the second associated with France, after the Papeete Tahiti Temple, and is located near Versailles. A public open house was held from April 22, 2017 through May 13, 2017, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated on May 21, 2017 by Henry B. Eyring.
