Temper is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film co-written and directed by Puri Jagannadh and story by Vakkantham Vamsi, starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Kajal, Prakash Raj, and Posani Krishna Murali. The narrative revolves around Daya, a corrupt police officer whose life changes after a brawl that eventually leads to him stumbling upon a murder case.

Temper was produced by Bandla Ganesh on Parameswara Art Productions banner. Anup Rubens composed the soundtrack, while Mani Sharma composed the background score. Shyam K. Naidu and S. R. Sekhar handled the film's cinematography and editing, respectively. The film was made on a budget of ₹35 crore (350 million). Production began on 1 August 2014 at Hyderabad and principal photography commenced on the next day. After being halted twice because of the Film Federation employees' strike, the film's shoot was completed by 31 January 2015, with the film being primarily shot in and around Hyderabad and Goa.

The film was released worldwide on 13 February 2015 to positive reviews from critics, who praised the principal cast's performances but criticized portions of the film for being predictable and repetitive. The film was a blockbuster and proved to be a major success for Rama Rao after a streak of failures, grossing ₹74.3 crore (743 million) and collecting a share of ₹43.1 crore (431 million) in its lifetime. It was remade in Hindi as Simmba (2018) and remade in Tamil as Ayogya (2019) with a changed climax.
