'''Orly''' ({{IPA|fr|ɔʁli|-|Fr-Paris--Orly.ogg}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the southern suburbs of [[Paris]], [[Île-de-France]]. It is located {{convert|12.7|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the [[Kilometre zero#France|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,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mairie-orly.fr/iso_album/plan_a3.pdf |title=Plan d'Orly |publisher=Mairie-Orly |access-date=2009-10-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081118190132/http://www.mairie-orly.fr/iso_album/plan_a3.pdf |archive-date=2008-11-18 }}</ref> which gave its name to the airport.

Orly experienced significant growth in the late 1950s. There was an urgent need to house poor families living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. Orly responded to Abbé Pierre's call in 1954. It was also intended to house the immigrant workers arriving en masse in the Paris region.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/val-de-marne-94/mon-immeuble-sera-rase-a-orly-une-metamorphose-xxl-pour-en-finir-avec-la-cite-dortoir-hlm-30-06-2025-UXARPB7OCRCQ5IUD2Y6CP7OQMM.php |title=" Mon immeuble sera rasé " : à Orly, une métamorphose XXL pour en finir avec la cité-dortoir HLM |work=Le Parisien |date=30 June 2025 |access-date=25 August 2025}}</ref>
