Ivan Thawithemwira (born 10 May 1982) is a Ugandan international cricketer who made his debut for the Ugandan national side in 2009. He plays as a right-handed middle-order batsman.

Thawithemwira was born in Kampala. He represented the Ugandan under-19s at the 2001 Africa Under-19 Championship, and played for Uganda A in February 2008, but made his senior debut for Uganda in December 2009, on a tour of Kenya.[1] In January 2010, Thawithemwira represented Uganda in the Kenya Tri-Series, where matches held full Twenty20 status.[2] He made 17 runs in the first match against Kenya,[3] but in two matches against Scotland had little success, making a golden duck in the first and one run in the second.[4][5] Thawithemwira next appeared for Uganda at the 2011 Africa Twenty20 Division One tournament. After that, he did not return to the national line-up for almost four years, until he was recalled for the 2015 Africa Twenty20 Division One event.[1]

At the 2015 ICC Development Programme Annual Awards, Thawithemwira was named Volunteer of the Year, for his work promoting cricket in the town of Fort Portal and the wider Western Region.[6]

As of 2021, he was the coach of the Uganda national under-19 cricket team.[7]
