Friedrich Gustav Lisco (February 12, 1791 – July 5, 1866) was a German Protestant Christian theologian born in Brandenburg an der Havel. His son, Emil Gustav Lisco, was also a preacher.

He studied at Viadrina University in Frankfurt and at the University of Berlin, where his instructors were Friedrich Schleiermacher, August Boeckh, Wilhelm Martin Leberecht de Wette and Johann Gottlieb Fichte, with the latter being an important influence to his career. From 1814 he worked as a preacher in Berlin. In 1839 he obtained an honorary doctorate from the University of Berlin.
