Orly (French pronunciation: [ɔʁli] Audio file "Fr-Paris--Orly.ogg" not found) is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, Île-de-France. It is located 12.7 km (7.9 mi) from the center of Paris.

The name of Orly came from Latin Aureliacum, "the villa of Aurelius".

Orly Airport partially lies on the territory of the commune of Orly,[2] which gave its name to the airport.
