The Dumbleton-Powles Report is a report prepared for the government of New Zealand by E.V. Dumbleton and Sir Guy Richardson Powles, and published on June 30, 1969.

In 1959, L. Ron Hubbard set up The Church of Scientology's new headquarters at Saint Hill, England, a few miles from East Grinstead. Scientology soon spread to a number of English speaking countries and because of its controversial teachings, policies, and activities it soon attracted attention. Several official inquiries were made into Scientology in England, Australia, and elsewhere and a number of reports published by respective governments in the late 60's and early seventies.
