Kornokipos (Greek: Κορνόκηπος, Turkish: Görneç) is a village in the Famagusta District in Cyprus, located on the south eastern side of the Kyrenia Mountains. The village name is thought to mean "Beautiful Garden" in one of ancient languages used in Cyprus. It is historically an exclusively Turkish Cypriot settlement and remains so today. In 1960, it had a population of 292 and in 1973 a population of 315 . It currently has a population of around 500.

The village was occupied by the Greek Cypriot soldiers from neighboring villages in response to the Turkish army's invasion on 20 July 1974.
