Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998) is an Australian actress, television personality and conservationist. She is the daughter of Steve Irwin (star of The Crocodile Hunter) and Terri Irwin. She has been involved in acting, singing, songwriting, game show hosting, and has created an instructional fitness DVD. She is also known for winning season 21 of Dancing with the Stars (U.S.).

Her first name comes from the name of her father's favourite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo, and her middle name, Sue, is from the family's dog Sui. According to her father, Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means "young girl".

Bindi Irwin was born in Buderim, Queensland. She began appearing on television shows as early as age two. She appeared regularly in her father's television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and also appeared in the 2002 film The Wiggles: Wiggly Safari in a credited cast role. She is of English and Irish ancestry, with abundance of Irish ancestry on her father's side. She is a dual citizen of Australia and USA.

Irwin was homeschooled until 2014, when she enrolled at TAFE Queensland East Coast. She has completed a Certificate III in Business, and is currently studying for a Certificate III in Tourism.

Irwin was the presenter of a 26-part wildlife documentary kids show called Bindi the Jungle Girl, a production of the Discovery Kids television network. Her father was filmed in many of the early shows before his death in September 2006, when production was temporarily put on hold. The series premiered in June 2007 on Discovery Kids.
