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 Nullarbor Plain in the 1860s.

East longitude, thence North to a point due East of survey mark R. 82 at Brickey's Soak, thence West to a point due North of the aforesaid 300-mile mark on the Railway line, and thence due South to the starting point.
