The High Temple is an ancient Mayan temple at the Lamanai archaeological site in Orange Walk District, Belize.

The High Temple's highest exposed height of {{convert|33|m|ft}} cannot be climbed even in the presence of a tour guide, due to an incident in which a woman was hospitalized with a severe spinal fracture, leaving her unable to walk.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}} The view from the top allows the climber to see over the jungle and to see a large portion of the New River lagoon. The Temple itself is believed to date back over 2000 years and was used as a religious platform for the local tribes to gather.
