Ivan Kelava (born 20 February 1988) is a Croatian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Kelava played for Dinamo Zagreb's youth teams from 1997, being promoted to the club's senior squad in the summer of 2006. He started his first–team career as the club's fourth–choice goalkeeper, behind Filip Lončarić, Ivan Turina and Tomislav Vranjić, and did not appear in any competitive matches during the 2006–07 season. However, following the departures of Turina and Vranjić in the summer of 2007, he became third–choice goalkeeper for the 2007–08 season, behind the incoming Georg Koch and Lončarić.
Kelava debuted for Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian Cup in September 2007 and went on to make another cup appearance in October 2007, before eventually making his Croatian First League debut in a 2–1 away victory against NK Zadar on 27 October 2007, as both Koch and Lončarić were sidelined because of injuries. By the end of the season he managed to establish himself as the club's second–choice goalkeeper, making a total of 7 league appearances. He remained the club's second–choice goalkeeper following the departure of Koch and the signing of Tomislav Butina in the summer of 2008. On 2 October 2008, he made his European debut for Dinamo Zagreb, replacing the injured Butina in the opening minutes of the second leg of their UEFA Cup first round fixture against Sparta Prague. He also went on to appear in Dinamo's UEFA Cup group matches against NEC Nijmegen and Tottenham Hotspur.
In August 2009 Kelava was loaned to Dinamo's farm team Lokomotiva, where he established himself as their first–choice goalkeeper and made a total of 33 league appearances before returning to Dinamo a year later to play understudy to Filip Lončarić. On 11 September 2010, he made his first appearance for Dinamo since returning from the loan, coming on as a substitute for the injured Lončarić in a league match at Hajduk Split. Five days later, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 home win against Villarreal in the club's opening UEFA Europa League group match of the season, under coach Vahid Halilhodžić. He later also kept clean sheets twice against Club Brugge and against Hajduk Split in the Croatian league.
