Surface temperature is the temperature at a surface.
Specifically, it may refer to:
- Near-surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the Earth
- Sea surface temperature, the temperature of water close to the ocean's surface
- Global surface temperature, the combined global average of near-surface air temperature and sea surface temperature
- Surface temperature of a star, often the effective temperature
