contents A famous theorem of Zudilin states that at least one of the Riemann zeta values $ζ(5), ζ(7), ζ(9), ζ(11)$ is irrational. In this paper, we establish the $p$-adic analogue of Zudilin's theorem. As a weaker form of our result, it is proved that for any prime number $p \geqslant 5$ there exists an odd integer $i$ in the interval $[3,p+p/\log p+5]$ such that the $p$-adic zeta value $ζ_p(i)$ is irrational.
