Ian McCrea (born 12 June 1976) is a Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politician who was a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly (MLA) for Mid Ulster from 2007 to 2016.

In 2011 his car was set alight and destroyed outside his house; no group or individual admitted responsibility for the attack.

[1] McCrea caused controversy by commenting on his Twitter page in 2012 that he would like no GAA county team from his constituency to win any titles that summer, saying, "Great to see Tyrone beat in the Ulster semis today, hope Donegal beat Derry in the final to keep the celebrations out of Mid Ulster.

[3][4] McCrea blamed his defeat on a "campaign of misinformation", following the party's decision to run two candidates in the constituency.

[5] At the 2019 local elections, he ran in Mid Ulster's Torrent District, where he was eliminated on the eight count with 899 first-preference votes.
