The Masonic Temple in Paducah, Kentucky was a historic building dating from 1904. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

Originally constructed by several local Prince Hall Masonic lodges, the building had retail shops on the ground floor, and lodge meeting rooms on the upper floors. In 1975 the African-American organizations moved to new premises, and the building became purely commercial in nature.[2] It was still standing in 2002 when nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, but has subsequently been torn down.
