Ivan Raimi is an American screenwriter and doctor of osteopathic medicine. He is eldest of the Raimi brothers. His second youngest brother is writer/director Sam Raimi. His youngest brother is actor Ted Raimi. He sometimes collaborates with Sam on projects. His most well-publicised work is Army of Darkness, the sequel to the horror films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II. He also co-wrote the comic book adaption of Army for Dark Horse Comics. His work in the entertainment industry has been sparse due to his primary career as a doctor.

Prior to these successes, he also contributed to several of the films that Sam had made earlier. Some of them where amateur efforts produced in suburban Michigan; some of them professional, theatrical efforts like Easy Wheels (though the script was heavily altered from the one the Raimis submitted). They also worked together on The Nutt House, which was, again, heavily altered, and so much so that all those who worked on the script used pseudonyms. Ivan was credited as "Alan Smithee, Sr.".

He also co-wrote Darkman, a collaboration with Sam which also featured Ted, created the short-lived television series Spy Game, and contributed some story ideas to Spider-Man 3, another project directed by Sam Raimi and featuring Ted.
