The Irish Primary Principals Network (IPPN) is an organisation which represents primary school principals in Ireland, and supports their continued professional and personal development. It was founded in 1999.
The established general primary teachers' union, the Irish National Teachers Organisation, has been critical of the IPPN, but the IPPN has denied that it was set up as a rival organisation.
