Doña Irene de Todos los Santos Urdangarín y de Borbón (b. June 5, 2005), is the daughter of Infanta Cristina of Spain and Iñaki Urdangarin, the Duchess and Duke of Palma de Mallorca. She is the sixth grandchild and second granddaughter of the current monarchs of Spain, Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain and a Grandee of Spain.

Irene also has three older brothers, Juan, Pablo, and Miguel. She is currently eleventh and last in the line of succession to the Spanish Throne.

Irene was named after her grand-aunt, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, the sister of Queen Sofia. She was named "Todos los Santos" (English: "All Saints"), as it is customary among the Bourbons. This name is only granted to members of the royal house. Although she is a member of the royal house, Irene and her siblings cannot be styled as "Royal Highness", Infante or Infanta. As the children of the Spanish Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, they are, however, styled as "His/Her Excellency Don/Doňa, Grandee of Spain".

She was baptized on 14 July 2005 in the garden of the Palace of Zarzuela, Barcelona. Her godparents are Princess Rosario of Bulgaria and Pedro López Quesada. Cardinal Rouca Varela performed the baptism. Irene lives in Barcelona with her parents and siblings, and is enrolled in the Carles Riba preschool, which her brother Miguel also attends.
