Lipan ialah artropod tergolong dalam kelas Chilopoda dalam subfilum Myriapoda. Lipan ialah haiwan panjang dengan sepasang kaki untuk setiap segmen badan. Lipan boleh mempunyai bilangan kaki dari bawah 20 hingga melebihi 300.

Dianggarkan terdapat 8,000 spesies lipan di seluruh dunia,^[4] dan 3,000 telah dikenalpasti.
