Gypsou (Greek: Γύψου; Turkish: Akova), sometimes also Gypsos (from Gypsum), is a village located in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, near the town of Lefkoniko.

It is under the de facto control of the territory of Cyprus that is forcibly and illegally occupied by the Turkish Armed Forces, following their invasion of Cyprus in the summer of 1974.

From this hill the locals produced Plaster of Paris, commonly known as Gypsum hence the name Gypsos.
