Laurence Sydney Brodribb Irving (1871-1914) was an English dramatist and novelist.

Laurence Irving was a son of the Victorian actor manager, Sir Henry Irving. Due to the financial failure of one of Laurence's plays, his father was forced to sell the Lyceum Theatre, London. Irving was married to fellow actress Mabel Lucy Hackney.

Laurence and Mabel Irving later drowned in the Empress of Ireland disaster on May 29, 1914. He is not to be confused with the son of his older brother Henry Brodribb Irving, who was also called Laurence.
