Edward Dawson (Sandy) Ives (September 4, 1925 – August 1, 2009) was an American folklorist.
His work concentrated on the oral traditions of Maine and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, particularly, as he said, "on local songs and their makers but also on cycles of tales about local heroes." He founded the Maine Folklore Center in 1992 and was its director until his retirement in 1998.
