Kontemenos (, ) is a town located in the Kyrenia District of Cyprus, 7 km northwest of Skylloura. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus.
Since the Turkish invasion in 1974, the village has been used as a Turkish military camp. The etymology of the village's name is unclear. Until 1974, Turkish Cypriots called the village "Kördemen" or "Kördümen" ("blind wheel"); this name was changed after 1974 and the village was named after Seçim Kılıçaslan, a Turkish soldier who died near the village during the invasion.
