Ayios Andreas or Tophane is a Neighbourhood, Quarter, Mahalla or Parish of Nicosia, Cyprus.[1] In September 1945, the Ottoman name of Tophane (which means arsenal) was changed to Ayios Andreas,[2][3] but there is no parish church of that name.

At the last Census (2011) it had a population of 5,767,[1] an increase from a population of 5,185 in 2001. It covers an area in the south-western part of the municipal area of Nicosia, within and without the walls.[4]

The population in 1946 was 3,012,[5] consisting of 2,224 Greek Cypriots, 152 Turkish Cypriots and 636 others.
