Ivan Pope (born 1961) is a British technologist, involved in a number of early internet developments in the UK and across the world, including coining the term cybercafe at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts.

He was a founder of two of the first internet magazines, The World Wide Web Newsletter, and later .net magazine in the UK.

Pope was born in 1961, the son of Patricia Pirard, a French national, and Marius Pope, a south-African born journalist of Lithuanian Jewish descent.

The magazine was conceived as a general information source to promote internet use.

The name was taken from the World Wide Web project of Tim Berners-Lee and the first issue was published in late 1993, reporting at the time: "there are under 100 web servers in the world".

3W opened up many opportunities and Pope left Goldsmiths College to concentrate on web development work.

Pope attended the first London Internet World exhibition in 1994 as an exhibitor with 3W magazine.

He was hired by Time Out magazine in London to consult on their early web development.

During 1994 Pope was asked by Future Publishing to join the team working on the first consumer internet magazine, .net.

Pope was asked to curate an internet component for an arts symposium held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in March 1994.

Pope and internet artist Heath Bunting planned to open London's first cybercafe in 1994, although were beaten to it by Cyberia.

With Steve Bowbrick, Pope founded Webmedia, an early web development company whose first offices were in the basement of Cyberia.
