The Irish Postal Union (IPU) was a trade union representing clerks, telegraphists and telephonists working in the Post Office in Ireland.
That year, it was recognised for negotiating purposes by the Postmaster General, but the union's journal was consistently critical of Post Office policies and, as a result, recognition was withdrawn in 1909.
Following an agreement to stop publishing critical articles, recognition was reinstated.

Once Northern Ireland was created, the IPU's members in the state were transferred to the UPW.
