The killing of Lisa refers to the violent death in Duivendrecht, Netherlands of a 17-year-old girl named Lisa from nearby Abcoude. As she was a minor at the time, her surname has been withheld for legal reasons.

She was attacked in the early morning hours of 20 August 2025, while cycling home after a night out in Amsterdam. A man who was also a suspect in at least one other sexual assault case was subsequently charged with murder by the prosecutor's office. The case received widespread national attention and sparked public debate around women's safety in public spaces at night.
