The Tijuana Mexico Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Tijuana, México. Completed in 2015, the intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 2, 2010, during the church's semi-annual general conference. It is the thirteenth temple built in Mexico.
The Tijuana Mexico Temple was constructed in southeastern Tijuana near Cerro Colorado.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held August 18, 2012, with Benjamin De Hoyos presiding and Jose L. Alonso directing. A public open house was held from 13–28 November 2015, excluding Sundays. The temple was formally dedicated by Dieter F. Uchtdorf on December 13, 2015. Clark B. Hinckley, son of former church president Gordon B. Hinckley, is serving as the temple's first president.
