Gypsou (Greek : Γύψου ) is a community of the District of Famagusta in the region of Cyprus occupied by the Turkish army.
The village got its name from a small hill about 1 mile to the north. From this hill the locals produced Plaster of Paris, commonly known as Gypsum hence the name Gypsos.
The climate is very warm throughout the year with temperatures in the 40C in August and about 15C in the winter months of January and February. The village was connected to the electricity network early in 1959-60 and all village roads surfaced with asphalt in 1962.
This is a mainly small scale farming village with farmers producing wheat, barley, vegetables and fruit.
