Ian William Hall (born 27 December 1939) is an English former cricketer and professional footballer. He played cricket for Derbyshire between 1959 and 1972, and played football for Derby County F.C. from 1959 to 1962 and for Mansfield Town F.C. from 1962 to 1968.
Hall was born at Sutton Scarsdale, Derbyshire. He first played cricket for Derbyshire in 1955 in a junior match and in the following years played occasionally for the second XI in the Minor Counties Championship. He was also an England Schoolboy and Youth international footballer.
Hall made his debut first-class appearance for Derbyshire in the 1959 season, in a win against Middlesex at Lord's when he made a duck in his second innings. However, later in the season he made his first century of 113 against Hampshire and his average for the season was just over 30. He also started playing football for Derby County in 1959.
He became a regular opening batsman for Derbyshire throughout the early 1960s, keeping his regular opening batting partnership with John Eyre and later with Peter Gibbs. In 1962 he moved to play football for Mansfield Town.
Hall made his top score of 136 against Nottinghamshire in the 1963 season and scored 103 not out against Sussex in the 1964 season. In the 1965 season he scored two centuries in one match against Kent, and in the 1966 season made 102 against Oxford University.
