Jon Tyson (* 1977) ist ein gebürtiger australischer Pastor und Autor, der die evangelikale Gemeinde Church of the City New York in Manhattan leitet. Bekannt ist er für seine Bücher und Predigten über geistliche Erneuerung, Jüngerschaft und das Leben als christliche Minderheit in säkularen Metropolen. Bibellesern vermittelt er praxisnahe Impulse für ein verbindliches Glaubensleben in der Gegenwart, während seine traditionell-konservativen ethischen Positionen in säkularen Kontexten auch auf Kritik stoßen.
