Iraivi (English: Goddess, தமிழ்: இறைவி) is a 2016 Indian Tamil drama film written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by C. V. Kumar under Thirukumaran Entertainment in association with K. E. Gnanavel Raja under Studio Green and Abinesh Elangovan under Abi & Abi Pictures. The film features an ensemble cast with Vijay Sethupathi, S. J. Surya, Bobby Simha, Anjali, Kamalinee Mukherjee and Pooja Devariya playing leading roles. Featuring songs and background score by Santhosh Narayanan and cinematography handled by Sivakumar Vijayan, the film was released on 3 June 2016 to critical acclaim.

The film centers around three men and the women in their life: a struggling and alcoholic film director Arul (S. J. Surya) and his wife Yazhini (Kamalinee Mukherjee); Arul's best friend Michael (Vijay Sethupathi) and his wife Ponni (Anjali); and Arul's younger brother Jagan (Bobby Simha).

Arul was a renowned film director until he fell out with the producer of his latest directorial film, because of which the film never released. To overcome his sorrow, he became a chronic alcoholic and started harassing Yazhini. Though Yazhini often threatens to divorce Arul for his behaviour, she changes her mind each time due to her love for him.
