Phoebus of Lusignan (died after July 1485 in Rome) (also called Febo or Febos in Portuguese) was a titular Marshal of Armenia and also titular lord of Sidon, the illegitimate son of Peter of Lusignan, titular Count of Tripoli.
His father Peter of Lusignan was the grandson of John of Lusignan and second wife Alice of Ibelin. Phoebus was legitimized by Pope Martin V in 1428, along with his cousin Guy, illegitimate son of King Janus of Cyprus.
Married to an unknown woman, he was the father of one son and one daughter.

Since he died at the same place and about the same time of his cousin Queen Charlotte it can be assumed that when she was deposed by her brother he chose not to endorse him and instead accompanied her to her exile and died there. His daughter went to Portugal back with her husband either when his master Charlotte's first husband was murdered or, after deciding to stay after that event, when his master's widow was deposed and at the same time Phoebus left Cyprus, returning to his country instead of going to Rome with him.
Charlotte was the Queen of Cyprus from 1458 until 1464. She was the eldest and only surviving daughter of King John II of Cyprus and Helena Palaiologina. At the age of 14, she succeeded to the Cypriot throne upon the death of her father. Her illegitimate half-brother, James, challenged her right to the crown. With the support of the Egyptians, he forced her to flee the island in 1463, and he was later crowned king. She made a military attempt to regain her throne, but was unsuccessful, and died childless in Rome.
James II was the penultimate King of Cyprus (usurper), reigning from 1460/1464 until his death.
