The '''Logic File System''' is a research file system which replaces pathnames with expressions in [[propositional logic]]. It allows file metadata to be queried with a superset of the [[Boolean algebra (logic)|Boolean]] syntax commonly used in modern [[search engine]]s.

The actual name is the '''Logic Information Systems File System''', and is abbreviated '''LISFS''' to avoid confusion with the [[log-structured file system]] (LFS). An implementation of the Logic File System is available at the LISFS website .<ref>http://lfs.irisa.fr {{404Dead link|date=May 2016}}</ref>.

It is intended to be used on Unix-like operating systems and is a bit difficult to install, as it needs several non-standard [[OCaml]] modules.
