IRIX Interactive Desktop is a desktop environment normally used as the default desktop on Silicon Graphics workstations running IRIX. The IRIX Interactive Desktop uses the Motif widget toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most Unix systems. IRIX Interactive Desktop has two primary components: the System Manager and the Toolchest. The System Manager is the main utility for desktop and system configuration. The Toolchest is a menu (normally located on the desktop) that shows which applications are installed on that Silicon Graphics workstation.

The IRIX Interactive Desktop was one of the first default graphical user interface desktops to be standard on a particular Unix computer system.
