Cerizy (French pronunciation: [səʁizi]) is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It is part of the Canton of Ribemont.[3][4]

During the Retreat from Mons on 28 August 1914, the British 12th Lancers charged a dismounted Prussian Guard Dragoon regiment[5] near the village.[6]
