Hugh I of Cyprus (c. 1195–1218), King of Cyprus from 1205 to 1218, was the son of Aimery de Lusignan and Eschive d'Ibelin. He succeeded his father at age ten and reigned during the Fifth Crusade. He married Alix of Champagne and was father of Henry I of Cyprus and Isabella of Cyprus (through whom the Cyprus royal line continued after his direct male line died out with Hugh II).
