Agios Sergios (Greek: Άγιος Σέργιος "Saint Sergius"; Turkish: Yeni Boğaziçi "New Bosporus", previously Aysergi) is a large village in Cyprus, near the ancient site Salamis. Agios Sergios is de facto under control of Northern Cyprus. As of 2011, it had a population of 3,347.

There are plenty of shops, restaurants and specialty stores throughout the village of Yeni Bogazici. A car is needed for most people because public transportation is severely lacking. Overall food and restaurant prices are inexpensive when compared to outside developed nations. The village is approximately 10 minutes from the city of Famagusta (Magusa) and minutes from numerous beaches for locals and tourists.
