Lisbane
Lisbane is a small village and townland in the parish of Tullynakill and the barony of Castlereagh Lower in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is between Balloo and Comber on the A22 road, 5 kilometres south-east of Comber. It is near Strangford Lough in the Ards and North Down Borough Council.

The name Lisbane is from the Irish An Lios Bán, meaning 'the white ringfort'. No white fort exists there now.

Although the village is Lisbane, much of the village is situated within the townland of Lisbarnet. The townland of Lisbane is closer to Strangford Lough.
