Wayne Carlisle (born September 9, 1979 in Lisburn, Northern Ireland) is a professional footballer with English Conference side Exeter City.

Carlisle is a midfielder, primarily right-sided, but able to play in a wide range of positions. He has been capped by Northern Ireland at Under-21 and Youth level.

He began his career with then English Championship side Crystal Palace. Due to the club's financial troubles during the late-1990s, first team opportunities became available for the then young trainee. Carlisle featured in 46 first team league matches while at Selhurst Park, but when Simon Jordan stepped in to save the club, investments in more experienced and high profile players limited his chances.

During the 2001-02 season, Carlisle moved on loan to Swindon for 3 months, where he featured in 11 matches, netting 2 goals. On 28 March 2002, Carlisle moved on a free transfer to League Two side Bristol Rovers. In his over two years at Memorial Stadium, Carlisle produced an impressive scoring record of 14 goals in 71 matches, this despite the team struggling against relegation.

In the summer of 2004, Carlisle moved to then League Two side Leyton Orient where he found it difficult to break into the first team. In the 2005-06 season, Carlisle was restricted to mostly appearances from the bench, and was transferred to Conference side Exeter City in the January transfer window.

Carlisle started promisingly with his new club, breaking straight into the first team, but his season was ended prematurely with a broken leg suffered against Tamworth. At the end of the season, departing manager Alex Inglethorpe released Carlisle on a free transfer.

On 6 October 2006, Carlisle was re-signed by new Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale after impressing as an early season trialist. Unfortunately, Carlisle has still yet to feature in a first team match since being re-signed, as he was taken to hospital on 19 October 2006 to have his appendix removed.
