Ian Van Bellen (30 October 1945 – 30 July 2019), also known by the nickname of "Selwyn" (after his perceived facial similarity to Bill Maynard who appeared in Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt!), was an English rugby union and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

He played club level rugby union for Huddersfield R.U.F.C., and club level rugby league for Huddersfield, Castleford, Bradford Northern, Fulham RLFC, Blackpool Borough, Halifax, Kent Invicta and Keighley as a prop.
