Ian Bowditch (9 March 1939 – 25 February 2008) was an Australian fencer. He competed in the team épée event at the 1964 Summer Olympics.[1] Before this, Ian and his brother Bruce were both awarded full blues for fencing as members of the Melbourne University Fencing Club.[2]

Bowditch, who trained as a lawyer, helped draft the Constitution of Nauru while working as an Australian Government Legal Officer prior to Nauru's independence.[2] He later practiced as a barrister at the Victorian Bar for over 25 years (signing the Victorian Bar Roll on 24 November 1983 and retiring in 2003).[2]

He was the father of singer Clare Bowditch.
