The Irkliiv Regiment (Ukrainian: Іркліївський полк, romanized: Irkliivskyi polk) was one the territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Cossack Hetmanate. The regiment's capital was the city of Irkliiv, now a village in Cherkasy Oblast of central Ukraine.
In 1648, during Khmelnytsky Uprising, Regiment was raised from the Irkliiv sotnia of the Pereiaslav Regiment. Colonel Mykhailo Teliuchenko became the first commander.
