Abdemon (, gen.: ), was one of the kings of Cyprus at the end of the fifth century BC. He was of Phoenician origin and was born either in Tyre^[1] or Kition on Cyprus.^[2] Around 415 BC, Abdemon deposed the Phoenician ruler of Salamis on Cyprus.^[3] Evagoras, who allegedly came from a Greek dynasty (Teucrids), had to leave the city and went into exile in Soloi. However, Evagoras returned in 411 BC with his followers and was able to depose Abdemon.^[4] Some coins of Abdemon have been found.
