The Makedonitissa Tomb (Template:Lang-el) is a military cemetery and war memorial, west of Nicosia, at Engomi in the area of Makedonitissa (35°09′15″N 33°18′29″E).

This was the place where one Greek Nord Noratlas was shot down by friendly fire on 22 July 1974, during Operation "Niki". "Niki" was a military operation of the Greek Army to send some elements of the Greek special forces by air to help the Cypriot National Guard against Turkish invasion forces during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus at 1974.

In this tomb are buried Greek Cypriot and some Greek officers and soldiers who were killed during the Turkish invasion.
