Templeton v Jones [1984] 1 NZLR 448 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding defamation and free speech where the Court ruled against the claims of news broadcasters that it had qualified privilege under "fair information on a matter of public interest" to publish potentially defamatory statements about a Parliamentary candidate's alleged antisemitism.

The case was remanded to lower courts to determine if those statements were truthful.
