Jim Middleton is an Australian journalist currently serving as a correspondent for Sky News Australia.

Middleton graduated from the University of Western Australia before joining the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1970. Middleton was involved in the transformation of radio station 2JJ into the national triplej brand, networked nationally around Australia. He served as the ABC's North America correspondent until 1988, when he became the ABC's chief political correspondent in Canberra. In 2008, Middleton left his political role in Canberra to join the Australia Network, presenting Newsline and The World.

Middleton took a voluntary redundancy from the ABC following the closure of the Australia Network due to funding cuts signing off on 2 September 2014.

Middleton joined Sky News Australia a month later, beginning on 22 September 2014, as a reporter and foreign correspondent.
