This is a list of settlements in Cyprus. The English name is indicated first, followed by the Greek and Turkish names, in turn followed by any former names, including ones used in antiquity. Note that even though, prior to the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Turkish names existed for some villages/towns, due to political reasons, most of the villages/towns were given a different Turkish name. The largest cities in Cyprus, in order from largest, are Nicosia (capital), Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, Famagusta and Kyrenia.

See main article: List of cities in Northern Cyprus.
Most of the Turkish names were established in 1958,[1] then some of them were changed after the 1974 invasion (e.g. Kourou Monastiri in Nicosia District).
Note: Names of the towns are written as Greek name, new Turkish name.
