Irshya (Sanskrit, also īrṣyā; Pali: issā; Tibetan: phrag dog) is a Buddhist term that is translated as "jealousy" or "envy". It is defined as a state of mind in which one is highly agitated to obtain wealth and honor for oneself, but unable to bear the excellence of others.

Irshya is identified as:

    One of the fourteen unwholesome mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings
    Belonging to the category of dosa within the Theravada tradition
    One of the ten fetters in the Theravada tradition (according to the Dhammasangani)
    One of the twenty subsidiary unwholesome mental factors within the Mahayana Abhidharma teachings
    One of the five poisons within the Mahayana tradition
    Belonging to the category of anger (Sanskrit: pratigha) within the Mayahana tradition
