Delisser Land District is a land district (cadastral division) of Western Australia, located within the Eastern and Eucla land divisions on the Nullarbor Plain. It spans roughly 29°00'S - 31°00'S in latitude and 126°30'E - 129°00'E in longitude. It was named after E.A. Delisser who surveyed and described the Nullabor Plain in the 1860s.
