The Eyalet of Cyprus (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت قبريس, Eyālet-i Ḳıbrıs) was an eyalet/province of the Ottoman Empire made up of the island of Cyprus, which was annexed into the Empire in 1571. The Ottomans changed the way they administered Cyprus multiple times. It was a sanjak/sub-province (قبرس سنجاغی, Ḳıbrıs Sancağı) of the Eyalet of the Archipelago from 1670 to 1703, and again from 1784 to 1914; a fief of the Grand Vizier (1703–1745 and 1748–1784); and again an eyalet for the short period from 1745 to 1748.
