Kellia (Greek: Κελλιά [locally [t͡ʃeˈʎa]]; Turkish: Yıldırım) is a village in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, located north of Larnaca. Prior to 1974, the village was inhabited mostly by Turkish Cypriots.[2] In 2011, its population was 387.

St Antonios is the church name of the village and was built at around the 19th century. Kellia is thought to come from 'cells', a reference to the monastic cells found at the church.
