Ivanhoe is a small, unincorporated community in Lake County, Illinois, United States near Mundelein. It took its name from the 1820 novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.^[2]

The community is home to a private golf course named the Ivanhoe Golf Club that hosted three PGA Web.com Tour^[3] events in 2017 through 2019. The course itself is also split into two private, gated communities, the Woods of Ivanhoe in addition to the Ivanhoe Estates.

Ivanhoe Congregational Church is located in the community. The church is the oldest organized church in Lake County, being founded in 1838 and moving to Ivanhoe in 1856. The pastor of the church has claimed via circumstantial evidence of the church being a part of the Underground Railroad, although this claim has not been proven.^[4]
