The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) is an organisation based in Kenya which studies insect life in tropical countries, in particular how it affects human health and food security. The institution was established in 1970 by Thomas Odhiambo, and from 1994 to 2005 it was headed by Hans Herren.
ICIPE's headquarters are located in Kasarani, Nairobi. It has a major field research centre at Mbita Point on Lake Victoria. There are four further field sites in Kenya, and one at Port Sudan in Sudan (on the Red Sea). ICIPE also runs a "Biovillage Initiative" in southern Ethiopia.
