Irosin, officially the Municipality of Irosin (; , ), is a municipality in the province of Sorsogon, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 59,540 people.

==History== Irosin frequently experienced erosion due to river inundations. On December 24, 1933, massive flooding caused numerous fatalities. To prevent the violent surge of the river from eroding the town's mainland, a concrete river control dike was constructed in 1937 under Mayor Felipe Santiago and Congressman Norberto Roque.
