These are the names of the missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Most missions are named after the location of the mission headquarters, usually a specific city. The geographical area a mission actually covers is often much larger than the name may indicate; most areas of the world are within the jurisdiction of a mission of the church.
In the list below, if the name of the mission does not include a specific city, the city where the mission headquarters is located is included in parentheses.
As of July 2018, there were 407 missions of the LDS Church.[1] On January 2, 2019, the LDS Church announced changes that will close 12 missions through boundary realignments and open up 4 new ones, effective July 1, 2019.[2] When these changes take place, there will be 399 missions of the church.
