Ian Scheckter (b. August 22, 1947 in East London) is a former Formula One driver from South Africa. He participated in 20 grands prix, debuting on March 30, 1974. He scored no championship points.

The elder brother of 1979 Formula One champion Jody Scheckter, his first F1 races were in the South African Grand Prix, first driving a Lotus 72 for locals Team Gunston in 1974. The following year and also in 1976, he drove a Tyrrell 007 for Lexington Racing, either side of a couple of European outings for Williams.

Securing enough funds for a full season with the March works F1 team in 1977, he turned in some poor performances, spelling the end of his F1 career. Scheckter's final grand prix would have been the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix but he was refused entry into Japan due to his South African nationality (this being during the apartheid era).
