Irons (first name and dates unknown) was an English first-class cricketer who made a single known appearance for All-England against Chertsey at Laleham Burway on 10–11 September 1778. Irons scored 4 runs with a highest score of 4. Irons may have played in the return match at the Artillery Ground on 15 September, but no details of that match have survived.

As Irons had established his reputation by 1778, he must have been active for some years previously. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Irons.
