Ian Andrew Troi was a human Starfleet officer and husband of Betazoid ambassador Lwaxana Troi. Ian and Lwaxana married in 2328 and had two daughters, Kestra and Deanna. However, Kestra drowned shortly after Deanna was born, and at the request of his grieving wife Ian never mentioned his first-born daughter again (TNG: "Dark Page").

Little is known about Ian's life. He seems to have acceeded to the cultural expectations of his strong-willed wife, living on Betazed and arranging for his daughter Deanna to be genetically bonded to the son of his friends Steven and Victoria Miller, in accordance with Betazoid tradition (TNG: "Haven). One aspect of human culture which Ian Troi passed on to his daughter was a fondness for stories of the American West (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas").

Ian Troi died in 2343. The circumstances of his death are not known. His surviving daughter remembered him fondly. When she became pregnant by an alien energy being, she named the resulting child after her father (TNG: "The Child").

Ian Troi was seen in flashback in the episode "Dark Page," and was played by Amick Byram.
