Pseudodipteral or Pseudodipteros ({{langx|el|ψευδοδίπτερος}}, meaning “falsely dipteral”)[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0059:entry=pseudodipteros Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, A Latin Dictionary, pseudodipteros][https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0062:entry=pseudodipteros-harpers Harry Thurston Peck, Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898), pseudodipteros] describes an ancient Greek temple with a single peristyle surrounding the cella at the distance of two intercolumns and one column.{{cite book|author=Vitruvius|title=On Architecture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lBLNbOp46CYC&pg=PT350|date=24 September 2009|publisher=Penguin Books Limited|isbn=978-0-14-193195-1|pages=350–}} Unlike peripteral temples, there is a greater space between the columns of the peristyle and the cella; dipteral temples have two peristyles.

Temple "G" in Selinunte, an ancient Greek archaeological site in Italy, is a good example of the pseudodipteral plan.{{cite web | url=http://www.kaoscollective.com/portfolio/temple-g/ | title=Kaos Collective > Temple G }}
