Ledra (), also spelt Ledrae, was an ancient city-kingdom in the centre of Cyprus where the capital city of Nicosia is today.
Ledra was established in 1050 BC. It had become a city-kingdom by the seventh century BC. At times, it had been subject to Assyrian rule. Ledra was one of ten Cypriot kingdoms listed on the prism (many-sided tablet) of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (680–669 BC). The only known king of Ledra is Onasagoras, mentioned in this tablet for paying tribute to Esarhaddon.
