In Greek mythology, Cleisidice or Clisidice (Ancient Greek: Κλεισιδίκη, romanized: Kleisidíkē, lit. 'she who locks/ holds justice' or 'the key to justice') was an Eleusinian princess as the daughter of King Celeus and Metaneira. Her name was often associated with the root kleis (key, or "she who locks/ holds") and dike (justice).
