Irthlingborough () is a town on the River Nene in Northamptonshire, England. It had a population of 8,900 at the 2011 census and was the smallest town in England to have had a Football League team, Rushden & Diamonds F.C., prior to the promotion of Forest Green Rovers to the EFL in May 2017. The parish church, St Peter, has a lantern tower, unusual for Northamptonshire churches, which was built to guide travellers across the Nene valley in foggy weather. It also has doors at the four cardinal points and has eight misericords in the chancel.
Irthlingborough was called Yrtlingaburg in the 8th century, Erdiburn in the Domesday Book, and Artleborough later. King Offa of Mercia held court near Irthlingborough circa 790.
