Nea Salamis Ammochostos or Nea Salamina Ammochostos (Greek: Νέα Σαλαμίνα Αμμοχώστου) is a Cypriot football club which comes from the city of Ammochostos (also known by its Romanized name: Famagusta). It has adopted its name from the ancient Greek city of Salamis or Salamina (Greek: Σαλαμίς) near modern day Ammochostos. The club was founded in 1948. Since the occupation of the north part of the island through invasion by Turkish troops in 1974, Nea Salamis is a refugee team and since then is based in Larnaca.

In 1990 Nea Salamina achieved its greatest success, when they won the Cyprus Cup, beating Omonia Nicosia 3-2 in the final. The same year they won the Cyprus FA Shield (Super Cup) by beating APOEL Nicosia 1-0. Nea Salamina played in the Cup final in other two occasions (1966, 2001) but were beaten on both occasions by Apollon Limassol.
