Wat Mongkolratanaram (Thai:วัดมงคลรัตนาราม) is a small Thai Buddhist temple located in Berkeley, California. It mainly attracts Thai American Buddhists, including many who are students at the University of California, Berkeley, but it also draws in many local, non-Buddhists who come searching for the authentic Thai food public brunch on Sundays or attend its frequent cultural events. The temple is home to a Thai school for San Francisco Bay Area youth, as well as Berkeley's Thai Cultural Center.

The Thailand-born Ajahn Manat is the current abbot of Wat Mongkolratanaram.
