The Rexburg Stake Tabernacle, also known as the Fremont Stake Tabernacle is a building located in Rexburg, Idaho that formerly served as tabernacle for large gatherings of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The tabernacle was designed by architect Otto Erlandsen and completed in 1911 at a cost of $31,000.[3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 1980, the building was sold to the city of Rexburg and now serves as a civic center and is home of the Rexburg Children's Choir.

In 2020, the Rexburg Tabernacle was visible to a nationwide audience when NBC Nightly News and Inside Edition highlighted the children's choir's ability to persist during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
