Angelus Temple is the central house of worship of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles, California. It was constructed under the leadership of Aimee Semple McPherson and dedicated on the First of January, 1923 [The cornerstone of the building bears the inscription ' Dedicated unto the cause of inter-denominational and worldwide evangelism - see http://www.foursquareassociation.org/foursquare.html" ] . The temple, located opposite Echo Park Lake, had an original seating capacity of 5,300, huge for a church then and now, but suited well for the popular attraction of Aimee Semple McPherson, who was an evangelical sensation of the 1920's and 1930's.

The lighted cross, atop the temple's dome, is a longstanding landmark.

L. I. F. E. Bible College was founded in a building adjacent to Angelus Temple. The building is currently the home of the Angelus Temple Hispanic Church. The former Queen of Angels Hospital is the base of operations for the Dream Center, which housed many people from the Gulf States displaced after Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.

Angelus Temple was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992.,citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/92001875.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Angelus Temple] |629 KiB |authors=Page Putnam Miller, Jill S.
