Tremetousia (Greek: Τρεμετουσιά, Turkish: Tremeşe/Erdemli) is a village in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, located 7 km east of Athienou. The town is one of only four villages in the Larnaca District under the control of the occupying Turkish forces, the other three being Arsos, Melouseia and Pergamos.

Tremetousia is the modern name of the ancient village called Trimythous (or Tremithous), which is internationally known from its Bishop Saint Spyridon of Trimythous.
