Iksan is a city and major railway junction in North Jeolla Province, South Korea.

The city center and railway junction was formerly called "Iri" (Iri-si; 이리시; 裡里市;), but merged with Iksan County (Iksan-gun) in the 1990s.

The railway junction is located at the point where Jeolla and Gunsan Lines meet the Honam Line, and is served by frequent train service to/from Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Mokpo, Jeonju, Suncheon, and Yeosu.

Iksan National College, Won Buddhism Graduate School, Wonkwang Health Science College, and Wonkwang University are all located in Iksan.

Famous people from Iksan include LPGA golfer Birdie Kim, who was born there.
