Alisa (Serbian Cyrillic: Алиса; Slavic analogue to the female name Alice) was a Serbian and Yugoslav pop rock band formed in Belgrade in 1984.

Formed and led by vocalist Miroslav "Pile" Živanović, Alisa gained nationwide popularity in the mid-1980s with their debut self-titled album. All the songs on the band's debut were authored by keyboardist Jovan Stojiljković, who was an unofficial member of the group. Alisa's following three studio albums, also featuring songs authored by Stoiljković, brought a number of hits. Alisa disbanded with the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars in 1991, and reunited at the beginning of 2000s, releasing one studio album before another disbandment. Alisa reunited in the original lineup in 2018, releasing new material. The band's activity ended with the death of their frontman Miroslav Živanović at the beginning of 2024.
