The Lisnaskea ward in the Fermanagh and Omagh district of Northern Ireland centres on the small market town of Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh. It occupies drumlin-dotted countryside close to the waterways of Upper Lough Erne, giving the area a scenic rural character and popular opportunities for angling and boating; the local economy is largely driven by agriculture, small businesses and services for surrounding villages, with growing interest in heritage tourism.

Historically the area has 17th-century roots and features the remains of Castle Balfour, while community life is animated by an active Gaelic Athletic Association club and local music and cultural events. In recent years the ward has seen modest regeneration and housing development, balancing a traditional rural way of life with the needs of commuters and younger families.
