The Bank of Ireland ( ) (Ise - BKIR. Lse - BKIR, Nyse - IRE) is a commercial bank operation in Ireland, which is one of the 'Big Four' in both parts of the island.

Historically the premier banking organisation in Ireland, the Bank occupies a unique position in Irish banking history. At the core of the modern-day group is the old Bank of Ireland, the ancient institution established by Royal Charter in 1783.

In March 2011 during the Irish banking crisis the bank was found to be in need of an external -5.2 billion bailout.
