We present JHK-band near-infrared photometry of star clusters in the dwarf irregular galaxy IC 5152. After excluding possible foreground stars, a number of candidate star clusters are identified in the near-infrared images of IC 5152, which include young populations. Especially, five young star clusters are identified in the (J-H, H-K) two color diagram and the total extinction values toward these clusters are estimated to be A_V =2 - 6 from the comparison with the theoretical values given by the Leitherer et al. (1999)'s theoretical star cluster model.
