Taşucu (Latin: Holmi) is a small town of Silifke, Mersin Province, Turkey. It obtained the status of Municipality after the local elections in Turkey, 1955. By the new regulations on the [[constitution|Constitution of Turkey]], it legally got the status of Mahalle again in 2014. The population was 8,847 as of 2012.

In 2000 a military pier, Agalar, was built 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-west of the town. During the Syrian Civil War the pier was used to ship weapons to Syrian rebel groups as part of the U.S. Timber Sycamore program.

Taşucu is the main ferry terminal to Kyrenia (Girne), the main port of Northern Cyprus.

The collections of amphoras donated by Arslan Eyce were gathered in Amphora Museum of Taşucu (Turkish: Taşucu Amfora Müzesi) by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 1997. [1]http://www.kulturvarliklari.gov.tr/TR,44043/mersin-tasucu-arslan-eyce-amphora-muzesi.html
