Ivan Ribar (21 January 1881 - 11 June 1968) was a Yugoslav politician of Croatian descent.
Ribar was born in Vukmanić (part of Karlovac). He had a PhD in law. In politics, Ribar was:

- President of Executive Committee, Anti-Fascist Council of People's Liberation of Yugoslavia, 26 Oct 1942 - 4 Dec 1943

Ivan Ribar lost his entire family during World War II: two sons Jurica Ribar and Ivo Lola Ribar, as well as his wife Tonica. Both sons fought for the Partisans against the Italian Fascists. Ivo Lola Ribar, his younger son, was in charge of the Young Communist League of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) during the war, and was proclaimed posthumously a People's Hero of Yugoslavia.
Ivan Ribar died in Zagreb at the age of 87.
