Diana Temple is a {{convert|6,683|ft|meter|adj=mid|-elevation|abbr=off|sp=us}} summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, US. It is situated nine miles northwest of Grand Canyon Village, and immediately northeast of Mescalero Point. Pollux Temple is one mile northwest, Marsh Butte one mile east-northeast, and Vesta Temple is one mile south. Topographic relief is significant as Diana Temple rises nearly {{convert|4,300|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above the Colorado River in less than two miles. Diana Temple is named for Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon according to Roman mythology.N.H. Darton, Story of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, 1917, page 78. Clarence Dutton began the practice of naming geographical features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities.Randy Moore and Kara Felicia Witt, The Grand Canyon: An Encyclopedia of Geography, History, and Culture, 2018, ABC-CLIO Publisher, page 151. The U.S. Geological Survey applied the name, and this geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1908 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. In the early 1900s this mesa was sometimes called "No Mans Land". According to the Köppen climate classification system, Diana Temple is located in a Cold semi-arid climate zone.{{cite journal| author = Peel, M. C. |author2=Finlayson, B. L. |author3=McMahon, T.
