The Quito Ecuador Temple is an announced temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to be constructed in Quito, Ecuador.
The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 3, 2016, during the Sunday morning session of the church's general conference. The Harare Zimbabwe and Belém Brazil temples, along with a second temple in Lima, Peru, were announced at the same time.
