A flexible temple for spectacles which separate at the bridge area, which has a narrow, elongate part, the ends of which are coupled to the frame, and which is closed at the rear of the head, and made up of a flexible structure with three specific, differentiated areas, at the ends and central portion, including: respective semi-rigid sections which correspond to straight sections of the temple at the ends thereof, corresponding to the portion at the temples of the wearer; and a flexible central area corresponding to the remainder that surrounds the head at the rear, with a higher degree of flexibility than that of the semi-rigid sections which allows the temple to be bent until the spectacles can be inserted in a case such as not to project from the space taken up by the frame.
