Ivy the Terrible (a pun on Ivan the Terrible) is a fictional character who has her own comic strip in The Beano. The strip involves a four-year-old girl whose mischievous antics are a constant annoyance to her parents.

Ivy first appeared in issue 2233, dated 4 May 1985, but the popularity of the character led to the strip being expanded to two pages as of issue 2931 (19 September 1998). It was drawn by Robert Nixon until his death in 2002; the current artist is Tony O'Donnell.

Ivy's last name is genuinely "Terrible", since her mother is referred to as Mrs. Terrible.
