Lisses (French pronunciation: [lis] ⓘ) is a commune in the Essonne department in Île-de-France in northern France.

One hypothesis is that Lisses is coming from the Latin Licia villa, as the initial village developed around the Lisses estate.

Another hypothesis is that Lisses has German origins: Listja, meaning barrier.

The commune has three primary school groups (combined preschool and elementary school), Frédéric Mistral, Jean-Baptiste Corot, and Joachim du Bellay; as well as one junior high school, Collège Rosa Luxemburg.
