Hugh IV of Cyprus (c. 1295–1359), King of Cyprus and titular King of Jerusalem 1324–1359, was the son of Guy de Lusignan Constable of Cyprus and Eschive d'Ibelin, and the grandson of Hugh III. His thirty-five-year reign is remembered for its patronage of learning — he corresponded with Petrarch — and for producing two successor kings, Peter I and James I.
