Yes. Though it is not widely known or even used. The Mormons prefer to use a King James Bible. That said, the special version that existed at one time was a unique translation done by Joseph Smith Himself. Most of the changes between it and a regular King James can found in the book of Genesis.

∙ 14y agoNo. The official English Bible of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) is the King James Version. The Church does publish it's own King James Version Bibles which have footnotes cross-referencing Bible passages with the Book of Mormon, but members use Bibles published by any source.
The Community of Christ, a group that broke from the Church at the death of Joseph Smith, uses the "Inspired Version", which is said to be a translation of The Bible done by Joseph Smith. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not use this translation as it's official Bible because they do not believe it was ever completed by Joseph Smith, but it is occassionally used and quoted. Members of the Church call it the "Joseph Smith Translation", rather than the "Inspired Version"
Links to both the King James Version published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Inspired Version published by the Community of Christ are located at the "Related Links" below.
