The Temple of Juno Lacinia is a ruined ancient Greek temple at the heart of a sanctuary dedicated to Hera located on Capo Colonna in Calabria, Italy, near Crotone. The main remaining feature is a Doric column with capital, about 27 feet in height.

The site lies on a promontory formerly called Lacinion in a strategic position along the coastal routes linking Taranto to the Strait of Messina. The venerated goddess, Hera Lacinia, was named after the location.

The sanctuary was later included in the larger Roman town of Lacinium.
