Iraq Division One is the second-highest division in Iraqi football after the Iraqi Premier League. Each year, the top finishing teams in the league are promoted to the Iraqi Premier League, and the lowest finishing teams are relegated to Division Two.

It was originally called the Division Two but has been known as the Division One since 2003. In the 2015–16 season, Al-Hussein were the division's champions and Al-Bahri were the runners-up.
