Forest Liesel (German: Försterliesel) is a 1956 West German comedy drama film directed by Herbert B. Fredersdorf and starring Anita Gutwell, Rudolf Lenz and Lotte Ledl. It is part of the post-war group of rural-set heimatfilm.

The film's sets were designed by Wolf Witzemann. It was shot on location in the Austrian Tyrol. It is a follow up by Fredersdorf to the previous financial success of The Milkmaid of St. Kathrein (1955).
