Ikory (République Libre de Ikory, Free Republic of Ikory; named for Wilfred Ikor) was a break-away republic, based in Quebec, Canada, composed of two providances (Kamstin and Valcourt). Though not internationally recognized, it had maintained itself against intrusions by surrounding nations for several years, until being ousted by a Canadian police action on August 15, 2011. It was bordered on all sides by the province of Quebec, though there is a corridor region within a short distance to the south, touching the U.S. state Vermont.

Ikory was a densely populated region, drawing inhabitants from surrounding nations through its open border policies and laxness of the legal system. Most inhabitants lived in growing urban areas near Valcourt, the capital.

The strong sovereigntist movement "Ikory Libre" played a central role in the politics of Ikory, managing public life through a variety of community programs and organizing outside donations to keep the republic free of outside influences. Ikory considered itself the vanguard for a completely sovereign Quebec, supporting total secession of the province from Canada and eventual reunification of Ikory with Quebec.

Full reunification of the city of Valcourt and the surrounding areas with the province of Quebec was completed on March 1, 2013. The criminal cases against the former leaders of Ikory, including Charlie Amis, are on-going, and not expected to be completed until autumn 2013.
