Candi Sari is an 8th-century Buddhist temple located at Dusun Bendan, Tirtomartani village, Kalasan, Sleman regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is located about 130 metres north east from Kalasan temple.

The temple's name Sari or Saré translates as "to sleep" in Javanese, which also confirms the habitation nature of the building.
