We show that the $n$-division points of all rational hypocycloids are constructible with an unmarked straightedge and compass for all integers $n$, given a pre-drawn hypocycloid. We also consider the question of constructibility of $n$-division points of hypocycloids without a pre-drawn hypocycloid in the case of a tricuspoid, concluding that only the $1$, $2$, $3$, and $6$-division points of a tricuspoid are constructible in this manner.
