Lizard is a former unincorporated community in Pocahontas County, in the U.S. state of Iowa.
Lizard was one of the earliest settlements in Pocahontas County, with John Quinlan and his family being the first to settle there in 1857.
Early religious services took place in the homes of Patrick Forey and James T. White.
In 1858, according to The Pioneer History of Pocahontas County, Iowa, "a few more settlers came to the Lizard settlement".
A store and inn, first owned by Garret Shoonmaker, operated in the 1880s; for a number of years, the post office was also located here.
