Madangopal Jiu Temple (Bengali: মদনগোপাল জীউ মন্দির ) is a temple in in the village of Mellock, near Samta, in the Indian state of West Bengal. The temple is locally known as Gopaler Mondir, which literally means the temple of Gopala, that is, Krishna.
The temple is a terracotta ornamented aatchala (roof with 8 slopes) temple of Radha and Madangopal and was built in the 17th century AD by Mukundaprasad Roychoudhury, a descent of the Roychowdhury Zamindars of Mellock. Then the Rupnarayan River used to flow not far away from the temple, but over the time it changed its course and has now moved further away.
The temple is now in ruins. Reconstruction work was started in the early 2010s but stopped midway
