The Tin How Temple is the oldest extant Taoist temple in San Francisco's Chinatown. The temple was founded in 1910 on the top floor of a four-story building. The temple is dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu, who is also known as Tin How (天后, Empress of Heavens) in Cantonese.^[1]

In May 2010, the one-hundredth anniversary of the temple was celebrated by a religious procession through the streets in the neighborhood, including dances and fireworks.

Although both are dedicated to Mazu, the Tin How Temple is not to be confused with the "Ma-Tsu Temple of U.S.A." two blocks north of it, which was founded in 1986 with ties to the Chaotian Temple in Taiwan.
