Rizokarpaso ( []; ) is a town on the Karpas Peninsula in the northeastern part of Cyprus. While nominally part of the Famagusta District of the Republic of Cyprus, it has been under the control of Northern Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974, being administered as part of the İskele District.
Rizokarpaso is one of the largest towns on the peninsula. Soil near the town consists of terra fusca, which is very fertile. Local crops include carob, cotton, tobacco, and grain. The municipality's territory features the Karpaz National Park, home to the Karpass donkey and some of the finest beaches of the island.
