The lyre () (from Greek λύρα and Latin lyra) is a stringed musical instrument that is classified by Hornbostel–Sachs as a member of the lute family of instruments. In organology, a lyre is considered a yoke lute, since it is a lute in which the strings are attached to a yoke that lies in the same plane as the sound table, and consists of two arms and a crossbar.
The lyre is an ancient stringed musical instrument in which strings are attached to a yoke—a frame made of two arms and a crossbar—that sits flat against the instrument's sound table. It belongs to the lute family of instruments and has been used across cultures for thousands of years, making it historically significant in the development of musical traditions.

里拉（英語：lyre；希臘語：λύρα），古地中海琴種，經時間流逝多數琴種皆已絕跡，僅剩希臘、埃及、衣索比亞等仍保有傳統，琴亦在流入不同國家後擁有各自別名。是西方古典文明最常见的拨弦乐器，传至现代的种类非常繁多。它们的主要特点是共鸣箱特别狭窄，因而便于携带。乐器的弦数不一，多數介於5-8根之间，但也有15弦里拉琴。乐器适合傳統上搭配故事或吟唱使用。古希腊的游吟诗人经常使用这种乐器来烘托气氛。它在中世纪文献的诸多引用，起码在10世纪后仅限于寓意。不过在北欧它仍被使用至至少14世纪。
