Dimitrios Kallonas (1907–1965) was a Greek journalist and art critic. He was a war correspondent and closely followed the Spanish Civil War, while among other things he was a member of the journalistic mission that followed the visit of King Paul to India and Thailand. He then began to deal with the visual arts by publishing reviews, while he also had a collection of paintings and studied music and art.
