Baron Lisle was a title that was created five times in the Peerage of England during the Middle Ages and Tudor period. The most recent creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1758, when John Lysaght was made Baron Lisle, of Mountnorth in the County of Cork. He had previously represented Charleville in the Irish House of Commons. As of 2010 the title is held by his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson, the ninth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2003. The barony is pronounced "Lyle", the family surname of Lysaght "Lycett".

My fancies all be fled,
And tract of time begins to weave
Grey hairs upon my head.”
