| Ivan Baldwin (August 26, 1946 - September 22, 1996) was a NASCAR driver from Modesto, CA. He competed in six Sprint Cup Series events in his career.
Baldwin's debut came in 1971, when he competed at Riverside. Starting 28th in the field of forty, Baldwin lost an engine on the second lap and finished a disappointing 39th. He luckily managed to improve in two other starts that year, showing 26th at Ontario and then overcoming issues at Riverside in the June event at Riverside to finish a career-best 16th.
Baldwin stepped it down to just a one-off appearance in 1972, competing in the season opener at Riverside. It was a respectable race for the driver, starting 36th in the field of forty but completing most of the laps to turn it into a 20th place effort.
Baldwin's final two races didn't actually happen until 1975, both occurring yet again at Riverside. This time, though, the results were miserable for Baldwin. He finished last (35th) in both races, falling victim to engine issues in the early laps of the event.
