I am reading 「花咲かじいさん」and there is a phrase used a lot like...




隣のおじいさんは言いました。




I have not seen this before and it doesn’t make sense to me from my understanding of 隣 meaning “next to”.



What does it mean here? Is it like a temporal “next”. Like... “Then the old man said...”?

          No, doesn't mean "then" or "next" in a temporal sense. Depending on the context, the phrase you have quoted means either "the elderly man next to [someone]" or "the elderly man who lives [or lived] in the house next door."
