Jean Juste Gustave Lisch (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ ʒyst ɡystav liʃ]; 10 June 1828 – 24 August 1910) was a French architect.

A native of Alençon, Lisch studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and was pupil of Léon Vaudoyer and Henri Labrouste. His architectural career was geared towards civic work: stations, public buildings, churches, and restoration of monuments. He built the Gare des Carbonnets, a train station in a Paris suburb.

Juste Lisch retired in 1901 and died in Paris in 1910. He is buried in the Rouen monumental cemetery.
