List of Turkish Cypriots

{{Lists of Turks by country}} The following is a list of people of full or partial '''[[Turkish Cypriots|Turkish Cypriot]]''' origin. This includes notable people in the community who were born on the island of [[Cyprus]] during the [[Ottoman Cyprus|Ottoman]] era (1570-1878/1914), the [[British Cyprus|British]] era (1878/1914-1960), as well as with the formation of the [[Republic of Cyprus]] (1960–present), the [[Turkish Federated State of Cyprus]] (1975–83), and the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]] (1983–present).

In addition, due to the large [[Turkish Cypriot diaspora]] living outside of the island, there are many notable people of Turkish Cypriot origin who are living in [[Turkey]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]], the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Jordan]], [[Egypt]], [[Germany]], [[New Zealand]], [[Norway]] etc. These individuals are listed with their citizenship (i.e. as "Turkish", "British", "Australian", "American", "Canadian", "Jordanian", "Egyptian", "German", "New Zealander", "Norwegian" etc.) alongside their notability and connection to the Turkish Cypriot community. Those with dual citizenship (i.e. who were born in Cyprus and have emigrated abroad) are listed as "Turkish Cypriot-born" alongside the citizenship they have acquired.
