The Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT; Irish: Cónaidhm Éireannach na Múinteoirí Ollscoile) is a trade union representing university staff in Ireland.
The union originated among a group of teachers at Maynooth College, who met informally from 1962 to 1964.
In 1965, they formed the IFUT, and held its first general meeting in 1966.
