About John Dickie (British politician)
- John Purcell Dickie (born 14 July 1874) was a Liberal Party (later National Liberal) politician in the United Kingdom. At the 1922 general election, he contested the Gateshead constituency, coming third.
- However, in 1923 he won the seat, but was Member of Parliament (MP) for Gateshead for less than a year, losing the seat at the general election in October 1924.
- He did not contest Gateshead again, but stood unsuccessfully in the Darlington by-election in 1926 and at Consett in 1929. When the Liberal Party split over participation in the Conservative-dominated National Government, Dickie joined the breakaway National Liberals, and was elected at the 1931 general election as National Liberal MP for Consett.
- He was defeated at the 1935 general election, and did not stand again.
