Irit Lillian (Hebrew: אירית ליליאן; born 1962, in Rehovot, Israel) is the Israeli Ambassador to Turkey.

When Naftali Tamir was recalled as Ambassador to Australia, Lillian became the Acting Ambassador.

During her military service, Lillian was a producer and an editor in the IDF radio station (Galei Tsahal). She earned a B.A in Archaeology and Egyptology from the Tel Aviv University and M.A in Eastern and Western Studies in the HUJ.

Lillian joined the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1986. She was appointed the Israeli Ambassador to Turkey and ultimately served as the charge d'affaires at Ankara Embassy.
