Lisa Chambers (born 24 August 1986) is an Irish barrister and former Fianna Fáil politician. She served on Mayo County Council from 2014 to 2016, before serving as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency from 2016 to 2020. After losing her Dáil seat at the 2020 general election, she served as a senator for the Cultural and Educational Panel from 2020 to 2025 and was leader of the Seanad from 2022 to 2025.
Chambers failed to win a seat in the Midlands–North-West constituency at the 2024 European Parliament election and also failed to regain her Dáil seat at the 2024 general election. Following these electoral defeats, she did not contest the 2025 Seanad election and left public life.
