William Lindsay Tisch MP JP (born 9 October 1947), known as Lindsay Tisch, is a New Zealand politician, and member of the National Party.
Tisch was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1947. He obtained a diploma in agriculture from Lincoln College. He has worked as a farmer, and was a management consultant. He was a director of Land Corp (1991–1997), and is a member of the Institute of Directors in New Zealand and the New Zealand Institute of Property Management.
Tisch is a Justice of the Peace, a trustee of the Pohlen Hospital Foundation based in Matamata, and a member of Matamata Lions Clubs.
He joined the National Party in 1966, and has held a number of senior roles in its organisational wing. In 1994 he served briefly as the party's president, and in the 1996 election, he was the party's campaign manager.
Tisch was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, replacing John Luxton in the electorate of Karapiro. He retained his seat in the 2002 election, when the name of the electorate was changed back to Piako. The electorate was named after a little-known river past Morrinsville, and Tisch was successful in lobbying to have the electorate renamed after the Waikato River.
