Ian Andrew Healy AO (born 30 April 1964) is an Australian former international cricketer who played for Queensland domestically. A wicketkeeper and right-hand middle-order batsman, he first played international cricket in 1988, after six first-class games. Over the next decade, Healy was a member of the side as it enjoyed a period of success. By the time of his retirement, Healy held the world record for most Test dismissals by a wicket-keeper. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1996 Cricket World Cup.
All of his four first-class centuries were scored in Test matches. He averaged 21 while scoring at a rate of 83.8 runs per hundred balls. He captained Australia in eight one day internationals when the regular skipper Mark Taylor was injured.
