The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) is a religious group. It is a small group that separated from the main Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This happened in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

In 2009, it was thought that about 10,000 people were members of the FLDS Church. Most members live in certain towns. These include Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona. Other places are Eldorado, Texas, Westcliffe, Colorado, and Mancos, Colorado. Some also live in Creston and Bountiful, British Columbia in Canada, and Pringle, South Dakota.
