Ivan Ribar (Croatian pronunciation: [ǐvan rîbaːr]; 21 January 1881 - 2 February[1] 1968) was a Yugoslav politician and soldier of Croatian descent. He was born in Vukmanić (part of Karlovac). He had a PhD in law.
In politics, he was:
- President of the Royal Parliamentary Assembly, 1920–22
- President of Executive Committee, Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, 26 October 1942 – 4 December 1943
- Chairman of the Presidium of the Provisional People's Assembly, 4 December 1943 – 5 March 1945
