John Henry Dimond (December 28, 1918 – June 12, 1985) was an American jurist who served as a justice of the Alaska Supreme Court from August 7, 1959, to November 30, 1971. He was one of Alaska's inaugural justices on the court serving with Buell Nesbett and Walter Hodge on the court's first ever bench. Born in Valdez, Alaska, he was the only son of Anthony Dimond and was briefly in private practice with his father prior to his death. The state courthouse in his adopted hometown of Juneau, Alaska, located across the street from the Alaska State Capitol, is named in his honor.
