Sikhism in Cyprus (Greek: Ο Σιχισμός στην Κύπρο, romanized: O Sichismós stin Kýpro; Turkish: Kıbrıs'ta Sihizm) is a minority religion. The Sikh community in Cyprus is a small but vastly growing one. According to the latest available data, there are approximately 13,280 Sikhs in Cyprus, which makes up 1.1% of the country's population.[1][2] This makes it the third largest national proportion of Sikhs in the world after Canada (2.1%) and India (1.7%). The Sikh population in Cyprus has grown over the years, with many Sikhs migrating to the country for work or to start their own businesses. Today, Sikhs in Cyprus have established their own places of worship and community centres, and are an integral part of the country's cultural diversity.
