Ivan Gladstone Van Sertima (26 January 1935 – 25 May 2009) was a Guyanese-born British associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in the United States. He was best known for his Olmec alternative origin speculations, a brand of pre-Columbian contact theory, which he proposed in his book They Came Before Columbus (1976). While his Olmec theory has "spread widely in African American community, both lay and scholarly", it was mostly ignored in Mesoamericanist scholarship, and has been dismissed as Afrocentric pseudoarchaeology and pseudohistory to the effect of "robbing native American cultures".

Ses travaux de recherche sur une origine alternative des Olmèques, l'une des théories sur les contacts pré-colombiens entre l'Ancien et le Nouveau Mondes, dans son livre They came before Columbus (1976), traduit en français quelques années plus tard sous le titre Ils y étaient avant Christophe Colomb (Flammarion). Sa théorie a fait de ce livre un best-seller, en dehors de l'eurocentrisme, particulièrement apprécié des milieux militants. Sa thèse a été largement combattue par les spécialistes d'études mésoaméricaines, et considérée comme une pseudohistoire militante afrocentriste revenant à « voler les cultures indigènes Américaines » (fr) Ivan van Sertima (ur. 26 stycznia 1935, zm. 25 maja 2009) – amerykański afrykanista gujańskiego pochodzenia, znany jako zwolennik pseudohistorycznej teorii o starożytnym zasiedleniu Ameryki przez ludy pochodzenia afrykańskiego.
