Iverk (Irish: Uíbh Eirc[3][4]) is a barony in the south-west of County Kilkenny, Ireland.[1][5] The size of the barony is 167.3 square kilometres (64.6 sq mi).[6] There are 15 civil parishes in Iverk.[3] The chief town today is Piltown. The N24 crosses the barony.

Iverk lies at the south-west of the county, with the baronies of Kells and Knocktopher to the north (whose chief towns are Kells and Knocktopher), and the baronies of Ida and Kilculliheen to the east. County Waterford is located to the south of the boundary.

The barony was part of the historic kingdom of Osraige (Ossory). Today it is part of the Roman Catholic Church diocese of Ossory and the Church of Ireland diocese of Cashel and Ossory. Iverk is currently administered by Kilkenny County Council.[7]
