Isinda was a town in Pisidia. It stood in a strategic position at the western end of the pass leading from Pamphylia by Termessus to Pisidia.
Together with Aperlae, Apollonia and Simena, Isinda was a member of a tetrapolis, a federation of four cities. Coins from Isinda reveal that it considered itself an Ionian colony.
Isinda was later included in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda. At an early stage, it became a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Perge, the capital of the province.
