Irene Schouten (Dutch pronunciation: [iˈreːnə ˈsxʌutən]; born 21 June 1992) is a Dutch speed skater who competes in allround marathon and inline-skating events. She is a five-time Olympic medalist and a triple Olympic Champion, having won the 3,000m, 5,000m, and mass start events at the 2022 Beijing Games. As of 12 February 2022, she holds the Olympic record in both distances (3000m[1] & 5000m[2]). Her coach is Jillert Anema.

On 2 March 2014, Schouten finished in third place at the 2014 Dutch Allround Championships and qualified for the 2014 World Allround Championships in Thialf, Heerenveen.[3] At the 2018 Winter Olympic Games she won the bronze medal in the mass start event.

At the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, Schouten became the most successful Dutch Olympic athlete of the event by winning four medals, including three gold.
