Edwin John Dingle (6 April 1881, Cornwall – 27 January 1972) was an English journalist, author and founder of the Institute of Mentalphysics in California, US.

As a journalist, Dingle moved to Singapore (Straits Settlements) in 1900 to cover the affairs of the Far East.

He claimed to have learned closely guarded advanced spiritual methods from the Tibetan Lamas.

Dingle's Institute of Mentalphysics was incorporated in 1933-34, and a retreat centre was established in Joshua Tree (then Yucca Valley), California, in 1941.

[5] Dingle also established a centre at the International Church of the Holy Trinity in Los Angeles, where he taught classes and also conducted correspondence courses on Mentalphysics across North America.
