Jonathan "Jony" Ive, CBE (born February 1967) is an English designer and the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple Inc. He is the leading designer and conceptual mind behind the iMac, titanium and aluminum PowerBook G4, G4 Cube, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPod,iPhone, and iPad.

Jonathan Ive was born in Chingford, London. He was raised by his teacher father and attended Chingford Foundation School. He went on to attend Walton High School in Stafford, Staffordshire, and then studied Industrial Design at Northumbria University (Newcastle Polytechnic at the time).

Ive married Heather Pegg in 1987. They have twin sons. The family lives in the Twin Peaks area of San Francisco.

After cofounding the London design agency Tangerine, Ive was hired in 1992 by Apple’s then Chief of Industrial Design Robert Brunner after a Tangerine consultancy with Apple. He gained his current position at Apple in 1997 as Senior Vice President of Industrial Design after the return of Steve Jobs, and since then has headed the Industrial Design team responsible for most of the company's significant hardware products. Jobs made design a chief element of the firm’s product strategy and Ives proceeded to establish the firm’s leading position with a series of functionally clean, aesthetically pleasing and remarkably popular products.

The work and principles of Dieter Rams, the Chief of Design at Braun from 1961 until 1995, have influenced Ive's work. In Gary Hustwit's documentary film Objectified (2009), Rams states that Apple is the only company designing products according to Rams' ten principles to "good design".

The Sunday Times named Ive as one of Britain's most influential expatriates on 27 November 2005: "Ive may not be the richest or the most senior figure on the list, but he has certainly been one of the most influential as the man who designed the iPod."

A recent Macworld poll listed Ive joining Apple in 1992 as the sixth most significant event in Apple Inc. history, while MacUser (a subsidiary of Macworld) writer Dan Moren suggested in March 2006 that, when the time comes for Steve Jobs to step down as CEO of Apple Inc., Ive would be an excellent candidate for the position, justifying the statement by saying that he "embodies what Apple is perhaps most famous for: design." However, Jobs was succeeded as CEO by Tim Cook, the company's former COO.

The Daily Telegraph rated him the most influential Briton in America on 11 January 2008.

In 1999, Ive was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.

Ive was listed in the 2006 New Years Honours list, receiving a CBE, for services to the design industry. The British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, was revealed as being an iPodowner in June 2005.

Ive was the winner of the Design Museum's inaugural Designer of the Year award in 2002, and won again in 2003. In 2004, he was a juror for the award.

On 18 July 2007, Ive received the 2007 National Design Award in the product design category for his work on the iPhone.

In July 2008, Ive was awarded the MDA Personal Achievement award for the design of the iPhone.

In May 2009, Ive received an honorary doctorate from the Rhode Island School of Design and in June 2009 was named Honorary Doctor of the Royal College of Art.
