Ivan Rabuzin (1921 – 18 December 2008)^[1] was a Croatian naïve artist.

Rabuzin's father worked as a miner, and Ivan was the sixth of eleven children. He trained, and worked, as a carpenter for many years, and did not begin painting until 1956 when he was thirty-five years old. He had little formal training as an artist, but his first exhibition of paintings proved successful and he changed careers, becoming a professional painter in 1962.^[2]

His paintings included Avenue and My Homeland [1]. He was active in politics as a member of Croatian Democratic Union and from 1993 to 1999 he was also a member of the Croatian Parliament (the second and the third assembly of the Croatian Parliament).

Rabuzin died the evening of 18 December 2008 in a hospital in Zagreb, Croatia.^[1]
