Jim Dymock (born 4 April 1972 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league international of Tongan descent who played for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Parramatta Eels and London Broncos. His preferred playing positions were lock and five-eighth.

He is currently the assistant coach of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Dymock began playing rugby league as an Eastern Suburbs junior with Woolloomooloo Warriors and then Paddington Colts. He then switched to the South Sydney juniors competition. He played for Zetland Magpies alongside players such as Jim Serdaris and Terry Hill who went on to make First Grade also. He represented South Sydney in their S.G. Ball and Jersey Flegg teams.

Dymock began his first-grade club career in 1991 at Western Suburbs, opposing Wally Lewis and scoring two tries in his debut. He played 31 times for the club, but was "glad to go" after troubles with his manager while at Wests.

In 1993, Dymock joined Canterbury Bulldogs. During the 1995 season, Dymock, along with Dean Pay, Jason Smith and Jarrod McCracken reneged on their Australian Super League contracts, giving 'unfair inducement' as their reason which was later supported in the courts. Although Dymock chose to sign with the Australian Rugby League (ARL) competition, he remained with the Bulldogs for the 1995 season and contributed to the club's grand final win over Manly. Dymock won the Clive Churchill Medal for man-of-the-match.
