Digital speckle interferometry of the asteroids Juno and Amphitrite has been performed. The speckle interferograms were recorded with the Danish 1.5 m telescope at the European Southern Observatory. The measurements show that both asteroids have elliptical shapes. The diameters of Juno were measured to be 230 km + or - 20 km (0.26 arcsec), and 288 km + or - 20 km (0.32 arcsec) on December 24, 1979, at 6 h 10 min UT, and the diameters of Amphitrite were 160 km + or - 30 km (0.11 arcsec) and 255 km + or - 30 km (0.17 arcsec) on April 4, 1981, at 8 h 30 min UT.
