Ivan Hall FSA is a British architectural historian specialising in the architecture of John Carr. He was born in Manchester and attended Manchester Grammar School and Manchester University.

He initially read architecture as a contemporary of Donald Buttress and intended to be a restoration architect, but later changed subject to art history. He worked as an academic at Hull University but spent later years working for English Heritage in London. He campaigned with his wife Elisabeth Hall to preserve historic buildings and their environments.

His published works include:

• Historic Beverley,
• Georgian Hull
• John Carr of York, Architect, A Pictorial Survey.
