The Irish Traction Group is a railway preservation society dedicated to preserving diesel locomotives from Irish railways. It was founded on 4 June 1989 with the intention of attempting to preserve at least one example of every type of diesel locomotive to have operated on the Irish Rail system. The ITG's locomotives and work are spread across three sites: Carrick-on-Suir railway station, the Downpatrick and County Down Railway (DCDR), and the West Clare Railway.
