De Tweede tempel (Hebreeuws: בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי, Beit HaMikdash HaSheni), ook wel Tempel van Herodes, was de tweede Joodse tempel. De Tweede tempel heeft 585 jaar bestaan, van 516 v.Chr. tot 70 n.Chr., hoewel sommige joodse kringen geloven dat de Tweede tempel slechts 420 jaar bestond, van 352 v.Chr. – 68 n.Chr. De periode van de Tweede tempel wordt ook wel Zugot genoemd.
