Warren Ambrose Dibble (1930/1931 – 27 July 2014) was a New Zealand poet and playwright.
Dibble was awarded the Robert Burns Fellowship from the University of Otago in 1969. Ralph Hotere, who was the Frances Hodgkins Fellow at Otago also in 1969, incorporated some of Dibble's poems into his artwork. Dibble wrote plays for television, theatre and radio, including Killing of Kane, based on the deeds of Titokowaru in Taranaki in the 1860s, the anti-Vietnam war theatrical cartoon Operation Pigstick, the one-off tele-drama Double Exposure, Lord, Dismiss Us… and Lines to M.
