Lisa Chambers (born 24 August 1986) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician. At the 2014 local elections, she was elected to Mayo County Council, where she served from 2014 to 2016. At the 2016 general election, she won a seat in Dáil Éireann, where she served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency from 2016 to 2020. After losing her Dáil seat at the 2020 general election, she was elected to the Cultural and Educational Panel of Seanad Éireann at the 2020 Seanad election. She served as a senator 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. She did not contest the 2025 Seanad election, and in January 2025 she announced her decision to leave public life. The following month, she was appointed director of public affairs at Consello, a global advisory firm founded by Irish-American businessman Declan Kelly.
