Book of Lismore, is an Irish vellum manuscript, compiled in early 15th century, Lismore, Ireland. It should not be confused with the similarly-named Book of the Dean of Lismore, a Scottish manuscript from the 16th century.

The manuscript was compiled from the early, and lost, Book of Monasterboice as well as other manuscripts. The Book of Lismore contains a variation of themes. Part of the book references the lives of Irish saints, notably, St Brigid, St Patrick, and St Columba. The Book of Lismore also contains Acallam na Senórach, a most important Middle Irish narrative dating to the 12th century, a text pertaining to the Fenian Cycle.
