Ian Madigan (born 21 March 1989) is an Irish professional rugby union player for Bordeaux Bègles. His primary position is at fly-half, although he can also play at centre and full-back.
Madigan made his senior debut for Leinster in a Celtic League match versus Newport Gwent Dragons in May 2009. He went on to make 18 appearances for Leinster during the season. Madigan broke through to the Heineken Cup squad and came on as a replacement in Leinster's cup final victory against Northampton Saints. The following season he became a regular first XV player and scored five tries in ten matches. He made a superb substitute appearance in the 2012 Heineken Cup final in Twickenham, with his long looping pass to Sean O'Brien enabling him to put Sean Cronin in for the final try. With the departure of Jonathan Sexton to Racing Métro at the start of the 2013-14 season, Madigan was vying with New Zealander Jimmy Gopperth, who joined the province from Newcastle Falcons, for the role of first choice fly-half. Throughout that season the selectors adopted a system of alternation between the two players, with neither individual being considered to have nailed down the number ten jersey.
On 21 March 2014, Madigan made his 100th appearance for Leinster in a league match against Italian side Zebre. The following weekend when Leinster took on Munster, he kicked five penalties and one conversion in a 22-18 win. He scored a winning try in the 2013-14 Pro 12 Semi-Final against Ulster at the RDS Arena. He came on in the 9th minute of the Grand Final for Brian O'Driscoll. Madigan was impressive in the match as Leinster dominated the second half of the match and won it 34-12.
