The Cardston Alberta Temple (formerly the Alberta Temple) is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cardston, Alberta. It was the eighth temple constructed and is the sixth still in operation. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 12, 1912, by church president Joseph F. Smith, during the church's general conference. It was both the first temple built in Canada and outside the United States. There are four temples in the province of Alberta and ten operated by the church in Canada.
The temple's distinctive cross shape, one two temples built in the shape (the other being the Laie Hawaii Temple) and absence of spires are defining characteristics that set it apart, and this design brought the church into the modern age of architecture. The temple was crafted by Harold W. Burton and Hyrum Pope, drawing inspiration from American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Their design was unique in use of geometric decorative elements, and with integration of the surrounding natural environment. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 9, 1913.
