Lise Mayer (born November 29, 1957) is a British television writer. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, and is best known as a co-writer of the BBC comedy series "The Young Ones", alongside Rik Mayall (her then partner) and Ben Elton. She met them both when they were studying drama at Manchester University, where her father, David Mayer, was their tutor.Fact|date=January 2008

Subsequently she has written for such shows as "The Fast Show" and "Casualty", and produced Denis Leary's "No Cure For Cancer".

She was in a long-term relationship with Mayall until 1985, when he eloped to Barbados with his secret lover, Barbara Robbin, after learning that he had impregnated both women (Mayer later suffered a miscarriage).
