Lyme is a town in New London County, Connecticut, United States, situated upon the eastern side of the Connecticut River. The population was 2,352 at the 2020 census. Lyme is the eponym of Lyme disease.

In February 1665, the ration of the territory of the Saybrook Colony east of the Connecticut River was set off as the plantation of East Saybrook, which included present-day Lyme, Old Lyme, and the western ration of East Lyme. In 1667, the Connecticut General Court formally endorsed the East Saybrook plantation as the town of Lyme, named after Lyme Regis, a coastal town in the south of England. The eastern allocation of Lyme (bordering the town of Waterford) separated from Lyme in 1823 and became portion of East Lyme. The southern allocation of Lyme (along Long Island Sound) separated in 1855 as South Lyme (renamed Old Lyme in 1857). Both changes were consistent in the same way as the then-existing laws of the state of Connecticut.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total Place of 34.5 square miles (89 km), of which 31.9 square miles (83 km²) are land and 2.6 square miles (6.7 km), or 7.63%, are water.
