John Irlande (c. 1440 – 1495) was a Scottish theologian and diplomat.
Irlande studied at St. Andrews University but left in 1459 without a degree and joined the University of Paris as student and teacher. According to his own testimony he remained in France, "neare the tyme of thretty yere". Records of the Sorbonne suggest he came from a St. Andrews family, although Perth has been suggested as his birthplace. Ireland settled in Paris, and became a doctor of the Sorbonne. As Johannes de Hirlandia he served as Rector of the University of Paris in 1469.
Irlande wrote a book of advice for James III, King of Scots, who died during its compilation, and it was presented to his successor James IV. Divided into seven books, it comes from the Mirrors for princes genre. Book III is an exposition of the Apostle's Creed.
