'''Poissy''' ({{IPA|fr|pwasi|lang|LL-Q150 (fra)-Exilexi-Poissy.wav}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the [[Yvelines]] [[Departments of France|department]] in the [[Île-de-France]] region in north-central France. It is located in the western suburbs of Paris, {{convert|23.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the [[Kilometre Zero|centre of Paris]]. Inhabitants are called ''Pisciacais'' in French.

Poissy is one of the oldest royal cities of Île-de-France, birthplace of [[Louis IX of France]] and [[Philip III of France]], before being supplanted from the 15th century by [[Saint-Germain-en-Laye]]. In 1561, it was the site of a fruitless [[Catholic Church|Catholic]]–[[Huguenots|Huguenot]] conference, the [[Colloquy of Poissy]].

The area is known for hosting the [[Automobiles Gregoire]] successively, [[Matford]], [[Ford SAF]], [[Simca]], [[Chrysler]], [[Talbot (automobile)|Talbot]] factories and now hosts one of France's largest [[Peugeot]] factories. The "[[Simca Poissy engine]]" was made there.

Poissy is the 165th most populated city in [[Metropolitan France]].
