Ian Robert Beven (born 27 November 1958 in Hobart) is a former first class cricketer. He was brought up in Tasmania, whom he represented in the Sheffield Shield between 1980/81[1] and 1983/84.[2]

In 1983 he moved to Scotland and played club cricket. He became a permanent citizen and took a wicket with his first ball for Scotland, trapping Test player Roland Butcher LBW.[3] He went on to appear 27 times for Scotland and he helped them reach the 1999 World Cup by taking 17 wickets in their ICC Trophy campaign.
