Abstract: For a prime p, a Diophantine m-tuple in

m a t h b b F_{p}

is a set of m nonzero elements of

m a t h b b F_{p}

with the property that the product of any two of its distinct elements is one less than a square. In this paper, we present formulas for the number

N^{(m)} (p)

of Diophantine m-tuples in

m a t h b b F_{p}

for m=2,3 and 4. Fourier coefficients of certain modular forms appear in the formula for the number of Diophantine quadruples. We prove that asymptotically

N^{(m)} (p) = f r a c 1 2^{m c h o o s e 2} f r a c p^{m} m! + o (p^{m})

, and also show that if

p > 2^{2 m - 2} m^{2}

, then there is at least one Diophantine m-tuple in

m a t h b b F_{p}

.
