The Arequipa Peru Temple is a planned temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to be constructed in Arequipa, Peru.[4] The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on 6 October 2012, during his remarks opening the LDS Church's 182nd Semiannual General Conference.[5] The temple was announced concurrently with the Tucson Arizona Temple.[4] When announced, this increased the total number of temples worldwide to 168 and the number in Peru to three.[6]

The church has not announced any information regarding construction. A private website has noted a site location, three miles north of the city center near the entrance to the village of Carmen Alto. That same website reports that, as of 10 July 2016, a general contractor has been selected and that the groundbreaking is anticipated for October 2016.[6]
