The Hindu Temple of Wisconsin (HTW), located in Pewaukee, is the oldest Hindu temple in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. As of 2023, it is attended by 2,500 families.^[1] A Jain temple is located on the same property.

Plans for the first Hindu temple in Wisconsin were made in the mid-1990s to serve the growing Indian population in Wisconsin. Construction on the temple involved two phases, lasting from 1998 to 2002, and the temple held its first puja in 2000.

The building was designed by Suhas Pawar. Its incorporates North Indian and South Indian temple design and practices with nontraditional adaptations. Though the temple primarily honors Vishnu, it has shrines to several Hindu deities.
