Róisín Ingle (born 7 October 1971) is an Irish journalist, editor, columnist and podcaster. She grew up in Sandymount, Dublin, and has spent most of her life in Ireland, with a brief stay in the UK.

She began journalism at the Sunday Tribune in 1995 and won Young Journalist of the Year in 1996. She later joined the Irish Times in the late 1990s, working as a reporter, columnist, and editor. Since 2002 she has written a weekly personal column in the Irish Times’ Weekend supplement and has also edited and produced podcasts for the paper.

Ingle has published two books based on her Irish Times columns: Pieces of Me (2005) and Public Displays of Emotion (2015). She co-produced The Daughterhood (2015) with Natasha Fennell, a book about mother-daughter relationships, and she has edited other works, including a Maeve Binchy collection. Her podcasts include Listen Up, Róisín meets…, and Back to Yours; she also co-hosts the Irish Times Women’s Podcast with Kathy Sheridan. She previously hosted Weekend Blend on Newstalk in the mid-2000s.

Personal life has included significant events. Her father, Peter Ingle, died by suicide in 1980 after several years of illness. She had a brief marriage to a Bosnian refugee, Mladen, in London, which ended in divorce. She later formed a long-term partnership with Jonny Hobson, with whom she has twin daughters; they live in Dublin’s North Strand. In recent years she has spoken publicly about abortion and her own experience, supporting abortion-rights discussions in Ireland. In late 2024 she wrote in the Irish Times about her experience with cancer.
