A stirrup buckle for releasably connecting a stirrup strap to the saddle strap of a saddle. The buckle is a two piece assembly having a base mounting plate with side flanges and a pivoting angled tongue lever member connected thereto pivotally mounted between the side flanges. The base mounting plate securely attaches the buckle to the stirrup strap. At least one post and preferably, a pair of posts are formed on the underside of the tongue lever member. The posts are spaced apart in a side by side relationship extending inwardly from the rear underside of the tongue lever member for insertion through selected spaced holes of the saddle strap. The posts located on the tongue lever member extend through matching slots formed through the surface of the base plate flush with the exterior surface for securing the two straps together.
