Ivan Neville (born August 19, 1959, New Orleans, Louisiana) is a multi-instrumentalist musician, singer, and songwriter. He is the son of Aaron Neville and nephew to members of The Neville Brothers. He has released four solo albums and had a Top 40 Billboard hit with "Not Just Another Girl" from his first solo album ''If My Ancestors Could See Me Now''. His second single "Falling Out of Love" charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and appeared on the soundtrack for the John Ritter film, ''Skin Deep'' in 1989. While it was never a huge charting song, Neville's "Why Can't I Fall In Love" has also become a sleeper fan-favorite, gaining fame from the 1990 Soundtrack to the Christian Slater film, "Pump Up the Volume".

He also contributed keyboards to two Rolling Stones albums, 1986’s ''Dirty Work'' and 1994’s ''Voodoo Lounge'' as well as being a member of Keith Richards’ solo band the X-Pensive Winos. In 1988, he toured with Richards after recording ''Talk is Cheap'', and was the opening act for the shows, since ''If My Ancestors Could See Me Now'' was released. Apart from appearing on several other artists’ records, including Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Robbie Robertson, Rufus, Paula Abdul, and Delbert McClinton, he was a member of the Spin Doctors, touring and recording on the group's album ''Here Comes The Bride'' in 1999–2000, including assuming lead vocal duties when Chris Barron lost his voice.

Neville's searing version of John Fogerty's "Fortunate Son" was critically acclaimed. "Catharsis never sounded cooler," raved ''Entertainment Weekly''. In 2007, with Dumstaphunk and B.B. King, he participated in a tribute album to fellow New Orleans musician Fats Domino, contributing his version of the title song to ''Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino'' (Vanguard Records).
