Tellerium (Te) is a chemical element with atomic number 52. There are eight naturally occurring tellerium isotopes, six of them are stable and two are radioactive. The radioactive ones, 128Te and 130Te, are the most abundant.

Tellerium is mainly used in alloys, for example in stainless steel, but other uses include solar panels in the form av cadmium telluride (CdTe).
