John Aravosis (born November 27, 1963) is an American Democratic political consultant, journalist, civil rights advocate, and blogger.

[3] Aravosis worked on Capitol Hill in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a foreign policy adviser for Ted Stevens, a Republican senator from Alaska, before becoming a Democrat.

He now works full time as the host and creator of The Aravosis Report, a nightly social media news show about the war in Ukraine.

[3] In 2004, Aravosis launched AMERICAblog, a progressive news blog dealing in politics (because, according to its masthead, "a great nation deserves the truth").

[7] In March 2015, Aravosis announced that he was leaving blogging, taking a new job at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and relinquishing his role at AMERICAblog.

In 2006, Aravosis learned that a number of commercial websites were selling people's private cell phone records, and that the practice was legal.

[15][16][17] In September 2006, California passed a state law banning the practice of pretexting, or pretending to be someone else, used by the websites, with the bill's sponsor specifically citing the AMERICAblog coverage.

A mutual ancestor of Aravosis and Haralambopoulos, Dimitris Papatsoris, was one of the regional leaders in the south for the Greek war of independence.
