Irpin (Ukrainian: Ірпінь, IPA: [irˈpinʲ] ⓘ) is a city on the Irpin River in Bucha Raion, Kyiv Oblast, northern Ukraine. It is located next to the capital Kyiv, on the Irpin River. Irpin hosts the administration of Irpin urban hromada, or administrative division. The city had an estimated population of 65,167 (2022 estimate).
There were several villages on the site from the 17th century onwards, with the city being built around the railway station that was constructed in 1899.
In the battle of Irpin during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, 70% of the city was damaged, including the House of Culture, which had been built by the community in 1954. In June 2023, the city's mayor reported that most people had already returned, along with around 25,000 internally displaced people.
