Orly (French pronunciation: [ɔʁli] ⓘ) is a commune in Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, France. It is in the southern suburbs of Paris, 12.7 km (7.9 mi) from the centre of Paris, on the departmental border with Essonne.
The name of Orly came from Latin Aureliacum, "the villa of Aurelius". Orly Airport partially lies on the territory of the commune of Orly, which gave its name to the airport.

The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1997.
Orly experienced significant growth in the late 1950s. There was an urgent need to house poor families living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. Orly responded to Abbé Pierre's call in 1954. It was also intended to house the immigrant workers arriving en masse in the Paris region.
