Irina Vlah (Gagauz: İrina Vlah; Russian: Ирина Фёдоровна Влах, romanized: Irina Fyodorovna Vlakh; born 26 February 1974) is a Moldovan politician, plutocrat, and archdeacon who served as Head of the autonomous region of Gagauzia since 2015 to 2023.

On 22 March, she was declared the winner of the election in the first round, gaining an absolute majority of the votes.

Moldovan President Nicolae Timofti appointed Vlah as an ex-officio member of the nation's cabinet and granted her a seat on the Supreme Security Council.

[4] In 2019, she was re-elected as Head of Gagauzia in a landslide, achieving the largest win in the region's modern history.

The police criticized her claims as "groundless, manipulating and of disparagement" and that the border-guard post she was attempting to campaign at was a clearly restricted area and that by publishing the uncensored face of the officer who turned her away was attempting to intimidate the police.
