IXL (or I.X.L.) is an historical freedmen's town in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, United States. While founded perhaps as early as 1900, it was only incorporated in 2001 and had an estimated population of 59 in 2007. The population was 59 at the time of the 2020 census.

The source of IXL's unusual name is disputed. A 2012 article on the town's website explained that the name derived from Indian Exchange Land, a reference to the town being on Mvskoke land. Other sources claim that the letters were taken from the names of three men. Some people think it’s an onomatopoeic boast suggesting "I excel."

This town should not be confused with Oklahoma towns in Kay County and Tillman County which also bears the "IXL" name. Around 1926, Julius Rosenwald Fund provided a grant in the amount of $1,100 for the community to build a school building for the IXL District 12. The school was segregated for grades one through eight.
