Diane Beall Templin (born May 23, 1947, Buffalo, New York) was a third-party candidate for President of the United States in both the 1996 election and the 2004 election.

In 1996 her running mate was Gary Van Horn; that year she was on the ballot in Utah representing the Independent American Party (IAP), where she received 1,290 votes; in Colorado she represented the American Party and received 557 votes. The 2000 ticket of the American Party, Don Rogers and Albert B. "Al" Moore, promised that if elected they would nominate Templin to head the Environmental Protection Agency and to the United States Supreme Court.[1] When she ran again in 2004, her Vice Presidential nominee was Al Moore; they were not on the ballot in any state.

Templin ran in the 2003 California recall election for governor, getting 1,067 votes. The San Diego described her as a "swing dance enthusiast." During the recall campaign, Templin appeared on a statewide PBS news program as she was dipped by a dance partner while declaring that California was "upside down." She has also run for California Attorney General in 1998 and 2002 as a candidate of the American Independent Party of California and has been a perennial candidate for Congress in California's 50th and 51st district in 2004. Her companion Robert James Templin, 81, of Escondido died Tuesday, December 26, 2006. [2]

She is seeking the 2008 American Independent Party nomination for president of the United States. ^[1]
