Terbium(III) oxide, also known as terbium sesquioxide, is a sesquioxide of the rare earth metal terbium, having chemical formula Tb
₂O
₃. It is a p-type semiconductor, which conducts protons, which is enhanced when doped with calcium.[3] It may be prepared by the reduction of Tb
₄O
₇ in hydrogen at 1300 °C for 24 hours.[4]

Tb₄O₇ + H₂ → 2 Tb₂O₃ + H₂O

It is a basic oxide and easily dissolved to dilute acids, and then almost colourless terbium salt is formed.

Tb₂O₃ + 6 H^+ → 2 Tb^3+ + 3 H₂O

The crystal structure is cubic and the lattice constant is a = 1057 pm.[5]
