The Gila Valley Arizona Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the Arizona town of Central, between the communities of Pima and Thatcher. The intent to build the temple was announced in a press release on April 26, 2008, by the church's First Presidency. The temple is the third in Arizona.

The temple has a single attached end spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. This temple was crafted by the architectural firm Architectural Nexus. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on February 14, 2009, conducted by Neil L. Andersen.
