Ivan Venning is an Australian politician who has been the sitting Liberal member for the South Australian state seat of Schubert since 1990.

Venning was one of five children and the eldest son to Howard and Shirley Venning. Howard himself entered state parliament at the 1968 election and served for 11 years. Venning attended Crystal Brook Primary School and Prince Alfred College in Adelaide, and worked on the family farm until 1966, when he was called up for National Service, serving in the Royal Australian Artillery as a gunner, operator and batman to the Commanding Officer III Battery. Venning also served for 10 years in local government, and is a Justice of the Peace.

In 1994, Venning was elected as Chair of the Environment, Resources and Development (ERD) Committee – a position he held for four years, and has served in the committee since 2006. He also served on the Public Works Committee for four years.

The 2006 election saw Venning decrease his Schubert margin to 6.4 per cent. After the election he became Opposition Whip.
