Ivan Fyodorovich Karamazov (Russian: Ива́н Фёдорович Карама́зов) is a fictional character from the 1880 novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Ivan is 23 years old at the start of the novel; he is the elder brother of Alyosha Karamazov, younger half-brother of Dmitri Karamazov, and the son of Fyodor Karamazov. His relationships with his brothers (including his possible half-brother Smerdyakov), his father, and Katerina Ivanovna (Dmitri's betrothed) are hugely important to the novel's plot.
