The Church Office Building is a 28-story building in Salt Lake City, Utah, and serves as the worldwide headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The building is 420 ft (128 m) tall and is located near Temple Square on the corner of North Temple and State Street. It is the second-tallest building in the city after the Wells Fargo Center, but appears taller because it stands at a higher elevation.

The building was designed by George Cannon Young and cost USD$31 million to build. Construction took place from 1962 to 1972. Its two observation decks on the 26th floor are open to the public for free and offer a stunning view of Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake to the northwest, the Wasatch Mountains to the north and east, the skyline of the city to the south, and Temple Square to the immediate west.

The first four floors expand outward, to the west and east, to form wings. The north side of each of these wings are without windows, each having stone facades, with large ovals containing relief maps of the two hemispheres of the earth.
