Mormon Doctrine (originally subtitled A Compendium of the Gospel) is a 1958 book written by Bruce R. McConkie, a general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and intended as an encyclopedic collection of the church's core concepts and beliefs.

The book was intended primarily for a Latter-day Saint audience and has been used as a reference book by church members because of its comprehensive nature, and was a highly influential bestseller in the LDS community. It was viewed by many members, then and now, as representing official doctrine despite the book never being endorsed by the church, and some church leaders objected to the tone and claims within the book.

Mormon Doctrine earned a mixed reception, being heavily criticized by some church leaders and members and well regarded by others. After the book's first edition was removed from publication at the instruction of the church's First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, corrections were made in subsequent editions. After three editions, Mormon Doctrine has been out of print since 2010.
