The Islamic Fayli Grouping in Iraq or Iraqi Faili Islamic Gathering is one of two Iraqi political parties of Shi'ite Fayli Kurds, the other being the Fayli Kurd Islamic Union. The Islamic Fayli Grouping is led by Muqdad Al-Baghdadi.

Both Fayli parties were part of the United Iraqi Alliance coalition in the Iraqi legislative election of January 2005, but the Gathering contested the Iraqi legislative election of December 2005 as part of the Islamic Coalition, which won no seats.
