Irricana is a town in the Calgary Metropolitan Region of Alberta, Canada. Surrounded by Rocky View County, it is adjacent to Highway 9, approximately northeast of Calgary.

The name of the town is a contraction of the words "irrigation canals", which are found around the Irricana area.

The Town of Irricana as a third level of government under Mayor Frank Friesen made comments on federal affairs during a council meeting in 2019 when Councillor Debbie Day asked during a formal meeting for someone to shoot the Prime Minister during an address from the Federally Appointed Minister Martin Shields to the Town Council. Now under Mayor Frank Friesen the Town of Irricana has invited a resident to sue the Town versus dealing with a problem caused by the local government. Later in 2022, a by-election Candidate claimed the husband of Councillor Debbie Day had: " just flipped over the chair I was sitting on, grabbed me, and drug me across the Town office." The Candidate also claimed others had to restrain the individual.

On June 6, 2022, Jim Bryson was appointed Mayor but it was announced Debbie Day had resigned from Council.
