Akrounta () is a village and a municipal district of the Amathounta Municipality in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 5 km north of Germasogeia. Its current Deputy Mayor is Nicos Nicolaides.
== Etymology == The name of the village derives from the word akron (“edge”) and denotes a settlement built at the edge of a valley, as is the case with Akrounda. According to folklorist Nearchos Clerides (Νέαρχος Κληρίδης), Akrounda is among the ancient names of Cypriot villages.
