The Diocese of Tempio-Ampurias (Latin: Dioecesis Templensis-Ampuriensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia, Italy. Until 1986 it was known as Diocese of Ampurias e Tempio. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Sassari

It had borne that name since 1506, when it was combined with the diocese of Tempio, previously being simply the diocese of Ampurias.[1]
