The Irene River is a river of New Zealand, flowing into Charles Sound, Fiordland. ^[1]

The river flows generally north from the northern slope of Coronation Peak, ^[1] a mountain in the Museum Range of the Southern Alps. It follows a roughly semicircular path, initially flowing northeast before turning north, northwest, and finally west before entering the northern (Emelius) arm of Charles Sound. ^[2]
