FC Lisse is a Dutch football club from Lisse. It was founded on 17 March 1981 and plays at Ter Specke, which has room for about 4,000 spectators.

History
The club’s roots reach back to 1911, when a local Catholic priest started a team called Lissese Voetbal Vereniging, later renamed Lisse Racing Club. In 1921 another team, RKVV Lisse, was formed. Lisse RC was dissolved in 1942, and after World War II another team, Lisser Boys, came along. In 1968 there was a failed plan to merge RKVV Lisse (later Sportclub Lisse) with Lisser Boys, but on 17 March 1981 the teams finally merged to become FC Lisse.
FC Lisse moved up to Topklasse in 2009–10, the then highest amateur level in the Netherlands. When the Tweede Divisie was created above the Topklasse in 2016–17, FC Lisse did not qualify for the new top amateur championship. In 2017 they were promoted to the Tweede Divisie but were relegated after one season. In 2022 they returned to the Tweede Divisie by winning the Derde Divisie (which had become the new name for the Topklasse). After finishing 12th in 2022–23, they ended up last in 2023–24 and were relegated back to the Derde Divisie. In the 2024–25 KNVB Cup, Lisse hosted Eredivisie club FC Utrecht and narrowly lost 2–1.
