Madhya Pradesh contains Hindu temples dating from the Gupta period to the modern era, as well as major centres of Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism. Early surviving examples include the temples at Bhumara, Nachna and Tigawa. In September 2026, the Bateshwar and Kakanmath temple groups in the Chambal Valley were added, as part of a joint nomination, to UNESCO's Tentative List, a preliminary step toward possible World Heritage status.
The best-known concentration is the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, constructed under the Chandela dynasty principally during the 10th and 11th centuries. The surviving Hindu and Jain temples are recognised for their Nagara-style architecture and integration of architecture and sculpture; the group was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1986.
The state also contains two of the twelve traditionally recognised Jyotirlinga shrines: Mahakaleshwar at Ujjain and Omkareshwar at Mandhata. The temple precinct at Ujjain was substantially expanded under the Mahakal Lok corridor project, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2022. Omkareshwar is situated on Mandhata Island, whose shape on the Narmada River has been described as resembling the Om symbol. Other important temple centres include Gwalior Fort, Orchha, Bhojpur, Maihar and the temple city of Ujjain. Inside Gwalior Fort, the Chaturbhuj Temple carries a Sanskrit inscription from 876 CE containing one of the earliest known uses of a zero in a decimal place-value system, and is locally known as the "Zero Temple". At Orchha, the state government began developing a "Ram Raja Lok" precinct around the Ram Raja Temple in 2026, modelled on the Mahakal Lok corridor at Ujjain. The following list includes notable Hindu temples and temple complexes located in Madhya Pradesh.

The temples in the list represent several stages in the architectural and religious history of central India. They range from early structural shrines at Bhumara, Nachna and Tigawa to the Chandela temples of Khajuraho, the medieval temples within Gwalior Fort and the later Bundela monuments of Orchha. Some survive principally as protected historical monuments, while temples such as Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, the Ram Raja Temple and the Sharda temple at Maihar remain active pilgrimage centres.
