Ian Duncan (born June 23, 1961) is one of Kenya's most successful rally drivers. He was Kenyan Rally Champion five times (1987, 1988, 1989, 1991 and 2000),^[1] and achieved outright victory in a World Rally Championship round when he won the 42nd Trustbank Safari Rally in 1994. This was one of seven consecutive top ten finishes in the event from 1990–1996, despite its notorious attrition rate.

His first victorious national rally was Nakuru Rally in 1987 while driving a Toyota Celica Twin Cam Turbo navigated by Ian Munro.^[2] Duncan won his first national championship the same year.

Having competed with a Group A Subaru Legacy and Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD in the 1990s, he is currently running a non-homologated Toyota Hilux with a turbocharged 4.5 L engine in the Kenyan National Rally Championship (KNRC).

In November 2006 Duncan won Guru Nanak Rally, becoming the first driver to win a KNRC round for tenth time.^[3] He was imposed a four percent time penalty due to his non-homologated vehicle. He extended the record in 2007 by winning Guru Nanak Rally again ^[4].

Duncan has won the Rhino Charge off-road event in 1998, 2006 and 2007.^[5] He has competed in motorcycling. In 2003, he was the runner up of Kenyan enduro, motocross as well as rally championships. ^[6]

He introduced his newest rally car, a Nissan Patrol Pick-up, in October 2008 ^[7]. In 2008 he also won the national autocross championship ^[8]. In 2009, 15 years after winning the Safari Rally proper, Duncan won the Safari classic rally driving a Ford Mustang and leaving the defending champion Björn Waldegård to the second place ^[9]
