The Masonic Temple is a historic structure in Springfield, Ohio, United States. Located along High Street in downtown Springfield,[1] the temple was designed by Howard Dwight Smith and the firm of Miller & Reeves. Local Freemasons have met at the temple since construction was finished in January 1927.[2]

The temple was added to the National Register of Historic Places in December 2008.[1][3] In nominating the temple for inclusion on the Register, the Ohio Historical Society highlighted its significance as the home of the oldest fraternal organization in Springfield.[2]
