``Re: Imaginary irrational number?'' by joking on 2007-04-15 09:16:01
An irrational number is any real number that is not a rational number. This definition can be extended to complex numbers, but I think there's no need to do this.

But if you have to do this, then I suppose that irrational number is any complex number that is not rational. That's how the definition works:

set of irrational numbers is a complement (in any field of characteristic 0) of set of rational numbers.
