The Cyprus State Archives ({{Langx|el|Κυπριακά Κρατικά Αρχεία|translit=Kypriaká Kratiká Archeía}}) are the national archives of Cyprus. They depend upon the ministry of justice and public order. They were established in 1972. They are based in Nicosia.
Collections
The earlier material dates from the British Colonial period (1878-1960).{{Cite journal |last=Georghallides |first=G.

Legislation
The first law that established the Public Archive was enacted in 1972 and the archive started its work in 1978, with a delay due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. In 1991 it was renamed from Public to State Archive. The 1991 is still in force with some modifications.
