Ivan Cervantes (Born May 2, 1982) is a Spanish motorcycle enduro racer from Cambrils (Tarragona).

Cervantes started out as a motocross rider, a discipline in which he holds five Spanish national titles, before moving on to enduro racing. In 2005, at the young age of 23, he made motorcycle racing history by becoming the first Spanish enduro world champion in category E1 enduro (100 to 125 cc two-stroke or 175 - 250 cc four-stroke). In 2006 he won the same title again. In 2007 he won the world championship in the E3 category (290 to 500 cc two-stroke or 475 - 650 cc four-stroke).

In various press interviews, Cervantes has stated that his goal is to win two world titles in each of the three enduro categories, and then to try to win the Dakar Rally.
