Greek: Ἴσινδα) was a town of ancient Pisidia.

In 189 BC, found besieged by Termessus.

Roman generals raised the siege and fined the Termessians 50 talents. Isinda stood in a strategic position at the western end of the pass leading from Pamphylia by Termessus to Pisidia. Samples of the extensive coinage of Isinda are extant, which give evidence that it considered itself an Ionian colony. Isinda was later included in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda.
