The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti) or Turkish Cypriot State (Turkish: Kıbrıs Türk Devleti) is a break-away de facto state in the northern third of the island of Cyprus. It was unilaterally proclaimed in 1983, nine years after the Greek Cypriot coup d'etat that was carried out by EOKA-B which was instigated by the Greek military junta of 1967-1974 and the ensuing Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Its predecessor from 1975 to 1983 was the Turkish Federative State of North Cyprus.

Turkey is currently the only state that recognizes the TRNC. The Organization of the Islamic Conference has recently taken steps towards recognition of TRNC, while all national governments and the United Nations recognize only the de jure sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the whole island. The UN considers the TRNC to be illegal in several of its resolutions. The TRNC functions as a self-governing protectorate of Turkey. The European Court of Human Rights, in the landmark judgment of Loizidou v. Turkey, has in fact called TRNC a "subordinate local administration of Turkey." Although TRNC institutions are not recognized internationally, the President of the TRNC is recognized as the negotiating representative of the Turkish Cypriot community. TRNC has applied to the Commonwealth Games Federation to take part in the Commonwealth Games as a team separate from Cyprus, but so far this proposal has been rejected.
