Lyon & Healy is an American manufacturer of harps founded in 1864 in Chicago by George W. Lyon and Patrick J. Healy. Lyon & Healy's headquarters and manufacturing facility, still in Chicago, contains a showroom and concert hall.

Lyon & Healy harps are widely-played by professional musicians since they make one of the few harps for orchestral use—which are known as "concert harps" or "pedal harps". In addition, Lyon & Healy makes smaller versions of the harp, which are known as folk harps (based on traditional Irish instruments) or lever harps (which use levers to change the pitch of the string rather than pedals). In the 1980s, Lyon & Healy also began to manufacture electroacoustic harps as well as solid body electric harps in later years.

The company was founded in 1864 by George W. Lyon and Patrick J. Healy, who moved from Boston to start a sheet music shop for music publisher Oliver Ditson. The full history of Lyon & Healy is complicated by the destruction of its building and loss of company records during four fires including the Great Chicago Fire. Letters and trade catalogs containing information about this company are not forthcoming as to exact dates when Lyon & Healy began manufacturing instruments. An article found within the pages of the Musical Courier states that Lyon & Healy began manufacturing instruments in 1885. Clearly, Lyon & Healy was making plucked string instruments in the 1880s, with Washburn (guitars, mandolins, banjos, and zithers) being their premier line. Lyon & Healy also made various percussion instruments. Later, Lyon & Healy began manufacturing brass instruments, possibly as early as the 1890s. Lyon & Healy also repaired instruments and evidently offered engraving services. Complicating matters still further, Lyon & Healy engraved instruments that it retailed but did not actually manufacture. In its 1892 catalog, it began advertising that it manufactured 100,000 instruments annually.
