Iver Eriksen Rosenkrantz (5 December 1674 – 13 November 1745) was a Danish statesman and landowner.
Iver's mother hailed from the province of Scania (Skåne) which was ceded to the Swedes in 1658.
Iver's uncle, Baron Jørgen Krabbe of Krogholm (now Krageholm), was very fond of him.
With Frederick IV relying increasingly on his Queen Anne Sophie Reventlow, and with Rozenkrantz critical of the Danish aristocracy, he was stripped of his titles and appointed governor of Viborg, thereby removing him from central government, although he remained on good terms with the King's siblings.
