Depending on the place you are.

Controller:

ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.UserHostAddress;

Razor View: 

@Request.UserHostAddress

Model:

Do not use System.Web.HttpContext since it's very hard, if not impossible to unit test. Instead, pass the value in through your controller.

Html Helper:

public static MvcHtmlString Ip(this HtmlHelper html)
{
    string html = html.ViewContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.UserHostAddress;
    return MvcHtmlString.Create(html);
}

Keep in mind, due to simplicity of the examples, I didn't do any null-checking.

  • Iam hosting my site in server, By using this code am getting only that server Ip address. But I want users ip address – coder Apr 29 '14 at 05:16
  • This is no longer true in ASP.NET 5 [Core 1.0 (vnext)] :( – Piotr Kula Jan 22 '15 at 13:31
  • @ppumkin Thanks for the heads up. Also, I must comment my own answer that System.Web.HttpContext is actually easy to test with Microsoft Fakes which ships with VS Premium and up. But I won't be changing my answer since I still think it's relevant to stay away from. Especially with vNext which is severing its ties with System.Web. – Jani Hyytiäinen Jan 25 '15 at 10:05

Try using following code

 System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
