Ian James Procter (3 September 1947 — 2 July 2023) was an Australian rugby union international.[1]

Proctor, a native of Tamworth, New South Wales, attended Gunnedah High School. He went to the University of New England for tertiary studies, playing his rugby for Wright College.[2]

A three quarter, Proctor was capped once for the Wallabies, against the All Blacks in the one-off Test in Wellington on the 1967 tour of New Zealand, playing on the right wing. The closest he got to further international caps was as a reserve in the team to play Scotland at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1970.[2]

Proctor represented NSW, NSW Country and the Australian Capital Territory during his career, receiving captaincy honours for the latter in 1973. He played in Canberra for the Northern Suburbs club.[3]
