Jonathan David Dymond (born 15 February 1970 in Merton, London ) is a British journalist and broadcaster. He is the Royal Correspondent for BBC News, having previously been the BBC's Washington Correspondent, Europe Correspondent (based in Brussels), and Middle East Correspondent (based in Istanbul). Dymond is also a presenter of The World at One and The World This Weekend on BBC Radio 4. He sometimes presents Broadcasting House and the Today programme. He also presents The World This Week and World Questions on the BBC World Service.

Education Dymond attended St Paul's School, an independent school for boys in the London district of Barnes, between 1983 and 1987. From 1988 until 1991, he studied politics at Durham University, and in he 1993 completed an MSc in public administration and public policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He hosted Americana, a BBC Radio 4 programme about American events; he was working as a BBC correspondent in North America in 2011.

After some years as a foreign correspondent in Brussels, Dymond became a royal correspondent in 2017. Interviewed for the November 2019 edition of Town and Country, Dymond was critical of Prince Andrew for agreeing to be interviewed by Emily Maitlis about the controversy over his friendship with the American billionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting it was a 'fantasy' that Prince Andrew could have reversed public opinion in one 40 minute interview. He told the same magazine that Prince Harry was rude to members of the press during a royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, and some Pacific Islands in 2018, but declined to go into details about what Prince Harry had said to them.

In November 2024, Dymond apologised for not declaring his pay, from corporate events, on the BBC's public register of staff earnings from activities conducted outside of their BBC roles.
