Cypros (1st-century) was a queen consort of Judea.

She was married to king Herod Agrippa.

[1] She was born to Phasael II and Salampsio and was the granddaughter of Phasael I, brother of Herod the Great.

With the help of Herodias, she convinced Herod Antipas to appoint Herod Agrippa as governor in Tiberias in Galilee.
