Irina Tweedie (1907, Russia - August 1999) was a British Sufi teacher.

After her studies in Vienna and Paris and after World War II Irina Tweedie married a British soldier, who died in 1954.

Because of her interests in Theosophy she travelled to India in 1959. There she met her later master, a Sheikh from the Naqshbandiyya Sufi order. During that period she wrote a diary which she published some years later. It became a well known book, describing the difficult steps of learning about Sufism.

In 1966, after her master died, Tweedie returned to Great Britain. There she became a master of many western people, searching for Sufi philosophy.
