Irving was an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States, and now within the Eugene city limits. Irving was a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad's Valley Line between Eugene and Junction City, first named "Halletts" when the line was built in 1872.[1] J. L. Hallett had built the first 100 miles (160 km) of the line and supervised the construction of the rest of the line to Roseburg.[1] In 1876, the name of the station was changed to Irving, probably for William Irving, who was a settler in the area.[1] "Irvine" post office was established in January of the same year, and the name corrected to Irving in October; the post office ran until 1919.[1]

Irving Christian Church (now known as the Sonrise Christian Church) was moved from the Clear Lake area, two miles east of Fern Ridge Reservoir, in 1899.[2] Irving Elementary School is served by the Bethel School District.
