Trivouno (, before 1927: Τύρσια – Tyrsia; , Tarsie; , Trsje) was a village in Florina Regional Unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.

It was part of the community of Simos Ioannidis.
==History== Tyrsia was a Slavic–Macedonian village. The inhabitants were Christian and belonged to the Bulgarian Exarchate. Due to its mountainous location, Tyrsia experienced poverty and gurbet (economic migration). In the 19th century, the first village school was established by Father Gerasim, an Exarchist priest. Following the Ilinden Uprising (1903), economic migration from the village changed toward a transatlantic direction and over time its population of youth decreased. Immigrants from Tyrsia in Toronto, Canada participated in the early Bulgarian community to build church infrastructure. The village population numbered 900 in 1912.
