Walter Ivers, Evers or Yvers (died after 1496) was an English-born Crown official and judge in late fifteenth-century Ireland.
For a few years in the 1490s, he was a key ally of Sir Edward Poynings, Lord Deputy of Ireland 1494-6.
According to the Dictionary of National Biography, he was of English birth, and this is probably correct since Poynings' programme for reforming the Irish political system, which led to Ivers' elevation to the office of Chief Baron of the Exchequer, called for the appointment of English judges to serve as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and to preside in the Courts of common law.
However this was only one part of an ambitious programme of political reform, which included curbing the power of the leading Anglo-Irish magnate Gerald FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare.
Ivers was appointed Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1494,[1]replacing the Waterford-born John Wyse, and according to Gilbert, he was a close associate of Poynings.
