Gisikon is a municipality in the district of Lucerne in the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland.
==History== left|150px|thumb|Geltwil memorial for the 1847 Gyslikon battle. Gisikon is first mentioned around 1270 as Gisinkon. In the 19th century, especially referring to the battle that occurred on 23 November 1847 during the Sonderbund War or sometimes the battle of 5 June 1653 during the Swiss peasant war of 1653, the town was often (erroneously) called Gislikon.
