The Temoto languages, named after Temotu Province of the Solomon Islands, are a branch of Oceanic languages proposed in Ross & Næss 2007 for the Reef Islands-Santa Cruz languages. These languages had previously been considered Papuan, but Ross & Næss established that the closest relatives were likely the Utupua-Vanikoro languages, previously considered Central-Eastern Oceanic.

*Reefs-Santa Cruz
*?Utupua-Vanikoro. May be two independent branches:
**Utupua
**Vanikoro
