Iselilja is the second album released by the Norwegian band Gåte.

The meaning of the word “Iselilja” is uncertain. When asked in an interview, Gunnhild Sundli (vocalist for Gåte) and Sveinung Sundli (fiddle, keyboards) said that they themselves do not know its exact meaning. A translation that has been suggested is “Ice-lily” (because “Is” translates as “Ice”, and “lilja” is similar to “lilje”, which translates as “lily”), however it is also possible that “Iselilja” is a name (probably female), and has no meaning. The word is featured on the third track of the album, Knut Liten og Sylvelin
