The Diocese of Tempio-Ampurias (Latin: Dioecesis Templensis-Ampuriensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia, Italy. It had borne the name of diocese of Ampurias until 1506, when it was combined with the diocese of Tempio. A single bishop was bishop of the two separate dioceses at the same time. Until 1986 it was known as Diocese of Ampurias e Tempio. On 30 September 1986, the two dioceses were united into one, and the name was changed to diocese of Tempio-Ampurias. The seat of the bishop is in Tempio. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Sassari
