Morphou Bay or Güzelyurt Bay (Template:Lang-el; Template:Lang-tr), is a part of the Mediterranean Sea, located on the North Western side of the island of Cyprus. It is named after the nearby inland town of Morphou (Template:Lang-el; Template:Lang-tr).

The bay forms the westernmost seaboard of the break-away Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which claims the bay as its own territorial waters. It was here that Turkey began landing supplies and volunteers to assist Turkish Cypriots when the intercommunal violence between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities erupted in December 1963.

For more information on this topic, see the article for the village Kokkina (Template:Lang-el; Template:Lang-tr).
