Templos (, ) is a Turkish Cypriot village in the Kyrenia District of Cyprus, two miles west of Kyrenia.
It is thought to be named after the Knights Templar, because during the Lusignan period it was one of their headquarters. It was later one of the commanderies of the Knights of St.John, when it had the name of Tembros (). It was called Temros by its Turkish Cypriot inhabitants, but in 1975 its name was changed to Zeytinlik, meaning olive orchard.
