Ivor Miles Windsor-Clive, 2nd Earl of Plymouth PC (4 February 1889 – 1 October 1943) was an English nobleman and Conservative politician.
The second and only surviving son of the 1st Earl of Plymouth, he was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. Until succeeding his father in 1923, he used his father's subsidiary title Viscount Windsor.
He was member for West St Pancras on London County Council from 1913–1919, and was elected as Conservative Member of Parliament for Ludlow, Shropshire at a by-election in January 1922, holding the seat until he succeeded his father in March 1923.

He is probably best known for his work as co-chairman of the International Committee for Non-Intervention in the Spanish Civil War.
He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Glamorgan in 1923, and a Privy Counsellor in 1929. He was made an Honorary freedom of Cardiff in 1936 and served as President of the National Museum of Wales and as Pro-Chancellor of the University of Wales 1941.
