Hugh III of Cyprus (c. 1235–1284), King of Cyprus 1267–1284, and also King of Jerusalem 1268–1284, was the son of Henry of Antioch and Isabella of Cyprus. Originally known as Hugh of Antioch-Lusignan, he took the Lusignan name on his accession to the Cyprus throne. His reign restored the dual crown that had briefly been divided after Aimery's death, and he fathered John I, Henry II, and Guy (the Constable of Cyprus who fathered Hugh IV).
