No. While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church) may also belong to Masonic lodges (this was much more common in the 19th century than it is today), they are not otherwise related in any way. Masons are a fraternal charitable organization for men, and "Mormonism" is a Restorationist Christian religion.

∙ 11y agoNot really. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is a Restorationist Christian denomination with roots in the Second Great Awakening of the early 1800's. Free Masonry is an ancient brotherhood which mostly functions as a charitable men's club today. Free Masonry is not a religion or a replacement for religion, and Free Masons are expected to be believers in God and may belong to any religion they choose.
The two groups are not similar in what they are (a church vs. a men's club) or their roots, but they are similar in that they both have an appreciation for symbolism. Many symbols can be found in the architecture and ceremonies of both Masons and Mormons. However, the symbols are mostly very different and mean very different things, especially in modern times. Some Mormon buildings from 150 years ago have symbols bearing resemblance to Masonic symbols (such as the compass and square, the all seeing eye of God, or clasped hands of fellowship) but modern Mormon buildings don't use such symbols, and haven't for over 100 years. Many early Mormons were also Masons, which may be the reason the symbolism was so similar in those days.
