The Lizonne (French pronunciation: [lizɔn]), also called the Nizonne,[citation needed] is a 60.5 km (37.6 mi) long river in the Dordogne and Charente departments in southwestern France.[1] Its source is near Morelière, a hamlet in Sceau-Saint-Angel. It flows generally southwest. It is a right tributary of the Dronne, into which it flows between Saint-Séverin and Allemans.

Part of its course forms part of the border between the Dordogne and Charente departments.
