Josep Irla i Bosch (October 24, 1874 – September 19, 1958) was a Catalan politician.
He was a deputy in the Catalan Parliament and the Spanish Congress in 1932, as an Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya affiliate. He was also the last President of Parliament of Catalonia at the end of Republican Catalan resistance in the Spanish Civil War, before Francisco Franco abolished the Generalitat de Catalunya.
He became the President-in-exile of the Generalitat after Lluís Companys was executed. During his time as President-in-exile, he established a Government in exile, and appointed Josep Tarradellas as Conseller en Cap (Prime Minister). He resigned as President in 1954.
He worked in his father's inn when he was young. He was the eldest son; his brothers were Francesc and Nicolau.
He died in France in 1958.
