Sedrick Irvin (born March 30, 1978 in Miami, Florida) is a former professional American football player who played running back for two seasons for the Detroit Lions. He was well-known for his jukes and stutter steps while at Michigan State en route to 1,000 yard rushing seasons in each of his 3 seasons there.

Irvin left MSU after his junior season with the fourth most rushing yards in school history to enter the NFL draft. He fell to the fourth round due to scouts citing that he was too slow for the NFL game. He proved those critics wrong when he led the Lions in touchdowns his rookie year while backing up James Stewart. After his career was riddled with injuries, the Lions let Irvin go. He signed with the Dolphins in hopes of returning to the NFL, but never saw gametime. He has also played in NFL Europe and the Arena Football League where he has played Linebacker and Fullback, both positions new to Irvin.

Irvin is the cousin of Cowboys hall of famer Michael Irvin.
