Iselin Vollen Steiro (born 15 September 1985) is a Norwegian model. She grew up in Harstad in the northern part of Norway. Iselin was discovered in 1999 while Christmas shopping with her parents in London. In fact, she was scouted twice on the same trip. The first scout was turned down by her mother who answered "over my dead body", when asked if Iselin would be interested in modeling. The second scout sent a letter to a local agency in Norway, which sought her up in Harstad. After her father went with her to one of her first jobs, he gave the "OK". She started to model "high fashion" in 2003, and walked for Prada and Calvin Klein in her first season.

She lived in New York for two years, where she modelled full time, but has now moved back to Norway, where she is studying architecture full time. She still works sporadicly. She is represented by Women Model Management in New York, Paris and Milan, and FM in London. Her mother agency is Team Models in Oslo, Norway.

Her covers include French, Flair, Korean Harper's Bazaar, Vogue Italia, and several Norwegian magazines. She works with world famous photograpers as Steven Meisel, Craig McDean, Mario Sorrenti, David Sims, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, Paolo Roversi, Sølve Sundsbø, Mikael Jansson and Camilla Åkrans.
