Iwo () is a city in Osun State, Nigeria. The Iwo people, like all other people of the Yoruba kingdom, are believed to have originated from Ile-Ife, where they migrated sometime in the 11th century according to Alademomi Kenyon and Prince Adelegan Adegbola (2009). The only predicted land with the symbol of the parrots (which signifies the location of the promised land) is the Iwo kingdom. The city was formerly part of old Oyo state and was later separated and became one of the major townships in Osun State, Nigeria. Isola Kamoli Adeniyi is the current chairman of the council.
