Irikkur is a town in Kannur District of Kerala state, south India. It has historic and commercial importance, and is one of the largest Mappila Muslim majority towns (90%) in Kannur district and lies on the banks of the Irikkur River, locally known as Ayippuzha. This river was the geographical border of the former Kottayam of earstwhile Veera pazhassi Raja'.

People residing both side of the river mingled together and this cooperation resulted in the formation of Irikkur village covering both banks of the river. The name "Irikkur" was considered to be formed from the Malayalam word 'iru kara ooru' which means a village of both banks of the river.

Irikkur is about 29 kilometers away from Kannur. And accessible directly from Kannur, Taliparamba, Sreekandapuram, Mattannur, Iritty and Chalode.

Irikkur is almost in the center of Kannur district. On the eastern side of the Irikkur Panchayath is Padiyoor. On the west is Malappattam. On the north is Sreekantapuram and on the south Irikkur river.It is a joy when Buses from Kannur come to irikkur crossing the river and go inside irikkur crossing the mosque, market and shops again returning back on the same route. "Palaga Biscuit" a tasty rusk like bread is a famous recipe of Irrikur.

Muslims, Hindus, and Christians live here in harmony and Irrikkur is a model village for of communal harmony. The famous Mamanam Temple, Nilamuttam Makham and Paisai Church lie side-by-side as a symbol for this.
