Domenico Tempio (1750–1821) was an Italian writer who mainly wrote in the Sicilian language or dialect.

During his lifetime, he was considered a major poet, and was much praised, but after his death his work was largely forgotten, until a reawakening of interest following the second world war.

[1] His poem La Caristia ("The famine"), describing a famine and rioting in Catania in 1797–98, is regarded as his major work.
