Le Lisp (also Le_Lisp and Le-Lisp) is a programming language, a dialect of the language Lisp.{{cite web |url=http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/07/01/29/PDF/RT-0027.pdf |title =Le Lisp 80 version 12 |year=1983 |last=Chailloux |first=Jérôme |publisher=INRIA |access-date=16 March 2012}}{{cite web |url=http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/07/62/38/PDF/RR-0319.pdf |title =Le_Lisp, a portable and efficient Lisp system |year=1984 |author1=J.

Programming language
It was developed at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA), to be an implementation language for a very large scale integration (VLSI) workstation being designed under the direction of Jean Vuillemin. Le Lisp also had to run on various incompatible platforms (mostly running Unix operating systems) that were used by the project. The main goals for the language were to be a powerful post-Maclisp version of Lisp that would be portable, compatible, extensible, and efficient.{{cite journal |last1=Steele, Jr. |first1=Guy L. |author1-link=Guy L.

Jérôme Chailloux led the Le Lisp team, working with Emmanuel St. James, Matthieu Devin, and Jean-Marie Hullot in 1980. The dialect is historically noteworthy as one of the first Lisp implementations to be available on both the Apple II and the IBM PC.{{cite book |last=Méndez |first=Luis Argüelles |title=A Practical Introduction to Fuzzy Logic using LISP |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IpaKCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA6 |date=22 October 2015 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-3-319-23186-0 |pages=7–8}}
On 2020-01-08, INRIA agreed to migrate the source code to the 2-clause BSD License which allowed few native ports from ILOG and Eligis to adopt this license model.
