Ian Wishart (born 1964) is a New Zealand journalist, author, and the editor of Investigate magazine.

Wishart is a Fundamentalist Christian who advocates conservative "right-wing" values. Wishart was highly critical of the Fifth Labour Government of New Zealand, and Prime Minister Helen Clark in particular, for alleged Marxist policies. Wishart also criticised gay activists, and sex education advocates for making factually incorrect statements in support of their initiatives.[1]

Wishart claims that his book Eve's Bite (2007) is "the most politically incorrect book ever published in New Zealand"[2]. In the book, Wishart argues that New Zealand society is being "poisoned" and the Western world as a whole undermined "by seductive and destructive philosophies and social engineering that within the space of a generation have intellectually crippled the greatest civilisation the world has ever seen"[3]. His more recent books include Absolute Power (2008)[4], which details Helen Clark's years as Prime Minister and Air Con (2009), in which he alleges that man-made climate change is not significant against the scale of natural forcings, and that climate change is being used primarily as a revenue-generating exercise by the climate-industrial complex. [5] Both Absolute Power and Air Con were #1 bestselling titles on the NZ Booksellers List.

Wishart studied journalism at Wellington Polytechnic, graduating in 1982. He has worked for Radio Windy, Radio Hauraki, Radio Pacific, TV3 and Television New Zealand. He started a book publishing company, Howling At The Moon, in 1995.[6]

He has married twice with two children from his first marriage and several from his second. He and his second wife, Heidi, are Anglicans. [6]
