Ian Bliss (born 1966) is an Australian actor, best known for his role as Bane in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, for which he was chosen by the Wachowskis because of his accurate impersonation of Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith), and also his partial resemblance to Weaving.

He also played the Peacekeeper scientist Drillic in the Farscape episode "Losing Time".
