The Newport Beach California Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Newport Beach, California. The intent to build the temple was announced on April 21, 2001, by the church's First Presidency. The temple is the sixth in California.
The temple has a single attached tower with a statue of the angel Moroni. The temple was designed by Lloyd E.

A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on August 15, 2003, conducted by Duane B. Gerrard, a church general authority.
