Ivan Lebedeff (18 June 1894 – 31 March 1953) was a Russian film actor. He appeared in 66 films between 1926 and 1953.

He was born in Ushpol (later Užpaliai), Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire, on 18 June 1894,[1] and died in Los Angeles, California, from a heart attack.

He migrated to the United States in 1925 and in 1930 was recorded at Los Angeles as an actor.[2]

On 15 August 1937, he was recorded as re-entering the United States from Mexico, when it was noted that he had resided in the U. S. between 2 October 1925 and 14 October 1930, and again between 20 April 1932, and 13 August 1937. His closest relation was given as his sister Nathalie Lebedeff, of Nice, in the south of France.[3]

On 12 November 1937, he was naturalized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.[4]

He died on 31 March 1953.[5]
