Jagannath Temple is a Hindu temple in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India's 17th-century temple dedicated to Lord Jagannath. It was built by king of Barkagarh Jagannathpur Thakur Ani Nath Shahdeo, in 1691. Completed on 25 December 1691, it is located about 10 km from the main town. The temple is on top of a small hillock. Similar to the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, this temple is built in the same architectural style, although it is smaller.

Similar to the Rath Yatra in Puri, an annual fair and rath yatra is held at this temple in the month of Aashaadha, attracting thousands of tribal and non-tribal devotees not only from Ranchi but also from neighbouring villages and towns and is celebrated with much pomp and vigor.

Built on a hilltop, most visitors climb the stairs or take a vehicle. The temple was desecrated and vandalized by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the year 1691.

The temple collapsed on 6 August 1990 and was reconstructed on 8 February 1992.
