Ivan E. Salaverry (born January 11, 1971) is a retired Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and instructor. He is a member of Tito Ortiz's Team Punishment, and is known for his well-rounded skills and calm behavior. Salaverry is a middleweight veteran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the now-defunct World Fighting Alliance. After a long layoff, he made his UFC return at UFC 71, losing to Terry Martin.

He is also notable for being a pioneer of the crucifix-style position from side control, which is often referred to as "The Salaverry" during Mixed Martial Arts broadcasts, particularly by UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
