Ivar Aleksander "Iivari" Partanen (born 16 July 1880, Vyborg, Grand Duchy of Finland, Russian Empire; died 8 April 1947, Helsinki, Finland) was a Finnish gymnast who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics men's artistic individual all-around event. His score or rank were not officially recorded, and it is only known that he was not the best Finn in the event, meaning he did not place in the top 75.[1]

He represented Viipurin Reipas and was a member of their honorary legion, a distinction for success in competitions, and an honorary member of the club.[2]
