Temple Run is a 2011 endless runner video game developed and published by Imangi Studios. The player controls an explorer who has obtained an ancient relic and runs from demonic monkey-like creatures chasing them. The game was initially released for iOS devices on August 4, 2011, and later ported to Android systems on March 27, 2012, and Windows Phone 8 on March 27, 2013.

The game was a commercial success with positive reviews from critics. The success of the game led to a sequel, Temple Run 2. Collaborations with Disney/Pixar led to Temple Run: Brave and Temple Run: Oz, and a third spin-off in development by Scopely titled, Temple Run: Treasure Hunters as a match-three video game. Temple Run also received activity books and a board game. The success of the game also inspired multiple games that copy Temple Run's gameplay and branding.
