Pionir Mormon

Handcart Pioneer Monument, karya Torleif S. Knaphus, terletak di Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah

Pionir Mormon adalah para anggota Gereja Yesus Kristus dari Orang-orang Kudus Zaman Akhir yang bermigrasi pada pertengahan 1840an di belahan Amerika Serikat dari Midwest ke Salt Lake Valley di apa yang sekarang menjadi negara bagian Utah. Pada masa perencanaan eksodus pada 1846, teritorial tersebut adalah bagian dari Republik Meksiko, yang berperang dengan AS atas sengketa perbatasan yang dibiarkan tak terselesaikan setelah aneksasi Texas. Salt Lake Valley menjadi teritorial Amerika setelah perang tersebut.
