Iván Navarro Pastor (; born 19 October 1981) is a tennis coach and a former professional player from Spain. He reached a career high singles ranking of No. 67 in March 2009. He employed the serve-and-volley strategy, very much like his compatriot Feliciano López. During his playing career, he had a unique habit of changing racquets each game, using one racquet for serving and another for returning.

Career He defeated Ivo Karlović in the first round of the 2009 US Open before falling to former World No. 21 Taylor Dent in a five-set match in the second round. Navarro saved three match points in the decisive fifth-set tiebreak against Dent before the American hit a return winner to close out the match, 6–4, 5–7, 6–7(1), 7–5, 7–6(9). Navarro announced his retirement in April 2013.
