The Iller ({{IPA|de|ˈɪlɐ|lang|Iller.ogg}}; ancient name Ilargus) is a river of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg in Germany. It is a right tributary of the Danube, {{convert|146|km|mi}} long.

It is formed at the confluence of the rivers Breitach, Stillach and Trettach near Oberstdorf in the Allgäu region of the Alps, close to the Austrian border. From there it runs northwards, passing the towns of Sonthofen, Immenstadt, and Kempten.File:Bij Steinheim, de Iller foto2 2014-07-28 13.39.jpg)|thumb|230px|left]] Between Lautrach near Memmingen and Ulm it forms the border between the two German States Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg for about {{convert|50|km|mi}}. The river flows into the Danube in the city centre of Ulm.

The Iller has a catchment area of {{convert|2152|km2|mi2}}. It ranks as the seventh of Bavaria's rivers by water flow, with an average throughput of {{convert|75|m3/s|cuft/s}} at Senden, a short distance upstream from the Danube. The power of the river is used for the production of hydroelectricity via eight power stations with a total net capacity of 51 MW (1998).

A bicycle route follows the Iller, which is also a popular location for rafting and trekking.
