Temoe, or Te Moe, is a small atoll of the Gambier Islands in French Polynesia. It is located in the far southeast of the Tuamotu group archipelago. It lies about 37 km southeast from the Gambier Islands and more than 1700 km southeast from Mataiva, at the other end of the Tuamotu archipelago.
Temoe Atoll is trapezoidal in shape and bound by a continuous reef with many small shallow spillways. It is 8 km long and has a maximum width of 4 km. The lagoon has a maximum depth of 23 m. Its islands are low and flat and the lagoon has no navigable pass to enter it.
Temoe is permanently uninhabited. Administratively it belongs to the commune of the Gambier Islands.
25 km southwest of Temoe Atoll lies Portland Reef, a submerged shoal lying at a depth of about 10 m.
