Alexander Ivanov (Russian: Александр Иванов; Belarusian: Аляксандр Іваноў, born 29 October 1994), also known as Ivan, is a Belarusian-Russian singer. He represented Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Help You Fly". Ivanov was also to represent Russia in the Intervision Song Contest 2015 but the contest never happened.
It was reported in the Belarusian media that Ivanov intended to perform his entry naked with two wolves on stage. His producer tried to get permission to get wolves on stage, considering the "no live animals" policy of the competition. Organizers didn't allow either request, but the presentation included animated scenes of wolves appearing on screen. Ivanov performed his song "Help You Fly" on May 12, 2016 in Eurovision's second semi-final, but failed to qualify to the May 14, 2016 final.
His great-grandmother was Moldovan.
