Summary:  In this paper, we determine the connectivity of the tensor product G × C of any connected graph G and a cycle C. We obtain the exact value of the connectivity of G × C when G is a bipartite graph or C is an even cycle, and provide sharp bounds for the connectivity when G is a non-bipartite graph and C is an odd cycle. As a consequence, we prove that the connectivity of the tensor product of k odd cycles is 2{k}.
