While working with SharePoint online, you may have to iterate through all lists in a site. Here is the PowerShell script to get all lists from SharePoint online site.

SharePoint Online: PowerShell to Get All Lists 
Here is the PowerShell script to get all lists and libraries from given SharePoint online site

#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
  
#Variables for Processing
$SiteUrl = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/sales"
$UserName="salaudeen@crescent.com"
$Password ="Password goes here"
 
#Setup Credentials to connect
$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))

Try { 
    #Set up the context
    $Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl) 
    $Context.Credentials = $credentials

    #sharepoint online powershell get all lists
    $Lists = $Context.web.Lists
    $Context.Load($Lists)
    $Context.ExecuteQuery()

    #Iterate through each list in a site   
    ForEach($List in $Lists)
    {
        #Get the List Name
        Write-host $List.Title
    }
}
catch {
    write-host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" -foregroundcolor Red
}

Let's dig a bit deeper and get all list properties and export them to a CSV file

#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"

#Config Variable
$SiteURL = "https://abraaj.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
$CSVPath = "C:\Temp\ListInventory.csv"

#Setup Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)

Try {
    #Setup the context
    $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
    $Ctx.Credentials = $Credentials
   
    #Get Lists from the site
    $Web = $Ctx.Web
    $Lists = $Web.Lists
    $Ctx.Load($Web)
    $Ctx.Load($Lists)
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()

    $ListDataCollection = @()
    #Get List details
    ForEach ($List in $Lists)
    {
        $ListData = New-Object PSObject -Property ([Ordered] @{
        ListName = $List.Title
        Description = $List.Description
        ItemCount = $List.ItemCount
        BaseTemplateID = $List.BaseTemplate
        Created = $List.Created 
        BaseType = $List.BaseType
        ContentTypesEnabled = $List.ContentTypesEnabled
        Hidden = $List.Hidden
        ListId = $List.Id
        IsCatalog = $List.IsCatalog 
        LastItemDeletedDate = $List.LastItemDeletedDate 
        LastItemModifiedDate = $List.LastItemModifiedDate 
        ParentWebUrl = $List.ParentWebUrl 
        VersioningEnabled = $List.EnableVersioning    
        })
        $ListDataCollection += $ListData
    }
    $ListDataCollection

    #Export List data to CSV
    $ListDataCollection | Export-Csv -Path $CSVPath -Force -NoTypeInformation
    Write-host -f Green "List Statistics Exported to CSV!"
}
Catch {
    write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message
}
