Cape Irōzaki (石廊崎, Irōzaki) is a headland on southernmost point on the Izu Peninsula on the island of Honshu in Japan. It is located within the borders of the town of Minamiizu, Shizuoka and is within the borders of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The cape marks the border between Sagami Bay and Suruga Bay, and the border between the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

Irōzaki Lighthouse stands on the cape. The cape also contains a Shinto shrine, the Imuro Jinja, which claims to have been founded in the Nara period.[2]
