Tremetousia ( []; or ) is a village in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, east of Athienou. It is one of only four villages in the district under the control of Northern Cyprus, the other three being Arsos, Melouseia and Pergamos.
The village is the successor of the ancient city Tremithus or Tremithous (), mentioned by Ptolemy, Hierocles, George of Cyprus, Stephanus of Byzantium and other ancient geographers. The imperial claimnant Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus was defeated here in 1191 by Richard I of England, who afterwards took possession of Cyprus. The city was then destroyed and survives only as a village.
