English: Media related to North Temple Street, a wide 16.0-mile-long (25.7 km) east-west street in northwestern Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, that currently has two segments.

The two-lane 5.5-mile (8.9 km) western segment (also known at Interstate 80 [I-80] North Frontage Road) begins at the western border of Salt Lake County (immediately east of Lake Point Junction). Heading easterly along the north side of I-80, North Temple Street passes through a very short section of the city of Magna before entering Salt Lake City and ending at the southern end of Apollo Road (roughly 2,000 feet [610 m] east of 5600 West). After a gap of approximately 3.8 miles (6.1 km), the four-lane 5.4595 miles (8.7862 km) eastern segment, which is entirely within Salt Lake City, begins at eastern end of the I-80 westbound on ramp/eastbound off ramp (immediately southeast of the Salt Lake International Airport [SLC]). Heading northeast North Temple Street passes under Interstate 215 (I-215, no interchange) and then continues heading due east along 100 North to cross Redwood Road (North 1799 West / Utah State Route 68), cross over the Jordan River, pass under Interstate 15 (no interchange), cross North 300 West (John Stockton Drive / U.S. Route 89 [US 89]), before ending at North State Street (Utah State Route 186 [SR-186]) and the west end of 2nd Avenue. The there is also a spur of approximately 2,500 feet (760 m) that runs due west along 100 North between SLC and I-215.

Originally, North Temple Street ran from the Tooele County line to North State Street. In 1931 the section between the county line and North 300 West (then also U.S. Route 91 / Utah State Route 271 [SR-271]) was designated as Utah State Route 67 (SR-67). By 1937 this section was also included in the routing of U.S. Route 40. The SR-67 designation was removed in 1962, however, in 1966 the section formerly designated as SR-67 was designated as Utah State Route 267 (SR-267). In 1969, the SR-267 designation was withdrawn, and that section of North Temple Street was added to the western end of Utah State Route 186 (SR-186). In 1974, the entire western end of US 40 (west of Silver Creek Junction (near Park City) was decommissioned. In 2007, the western end of SR-186 was routed north of North Temple Street, leaving the street without any state highway designation.

In 2013, Utah Transit Authority's TRAX Green Line (light rail was completed along North Temple Street between 2400 West and 300 West, with five stations being included along that section.
