In general there isn't. In the particular situation in which a) the Lisp implementation controls class loading and b) each Lisp function is compiled to a distinct Java class, the implementation can arrange to store the bytecode for each function and run a Java bytecode decompiler on it to disassemble/decompile it. > Could this be used to create a (disassemble) function for > Clojure?

I think Clojure respects point a) and b) above when not using gen- class to compile multiple functions to a single Java class, so it would be possible, but it requires support from the implementation, it cannot be a library function.
