Ivan Ivanić (Bačko Gradište, Bečej, Austria-Hungary, April 24, 1867 – Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, January 31, 1935) was a diplomat of the Kingdom of Serbia and author of numerous works about ethnic groups in Serbia and the Balkans. He also wrote travel literature which described his travels in the region of Old Serbia (especially Kosovo and Metohija and Macedonia).
He began his diplomatic career as a secretary in the Serbian consulate in Priština. He later became vice consul and consul in Priština and Skopje (Kosovo Vilayet). He was later appointed as consul in Bitola (then Monastir Vilayet).
He participated in both public and secret Serbian activities to provide assistance to Macedonian rebels against the Ottoman Empire. He met his wife Delfa in Skopje, where she was a teacher between 1900 and 1903. She was one of the founders of the Circle of Serbian Sisters (Serbian: Kolo Srpskih Sestara), an organization whose establishment was proposed by Ivan Ivanić together with Branislav Nušić. They were childless and the name of their stepdaughter was Ivanka.
On November 29, 1912 he was appointed as the first governor of the Durrës County, while his wife Delfa led the city hospital in Durrës.
