Electrical conduction measurements on TeO, single crystals are made both for orientations 11 and 1 t o the tetragonal symmetrp axis. Below N 400 "C, a single Arrhenius plot is obtained in each orientation, with activation energies Ell = 0.54 and E l = 0.42 eV. It is concluded that conductivity in this range is ionic, falling into the extrinsic dissociation range of behavior. Possibly, oxygenion vacancies are responsible. At high temperature the conductivity increases sharply due to reduction of the sample and the onset of electronic carriers.La conduction klkctrique de cristaux de TeO, a kt6 measuree dans les deux principales directions, 11 e t 1 S I'axe tetragonal de symmetrie. En-dessous de 400 "C e t dans les deux directions, nous obtenons deux courbes d'Arrhenius ayant respectivenient pour Bnergie d'activation El I = 0,54 e t E l = 0,42 eV.
