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
