John Ewart Akass (16 July 1933 – 4 June 1990), known as Jon Akass, was a British Fleet Street journalist. His obituary written by Keith Waterhouse in The Guardian described him as a 'shambling Ustinov-shaped figure in a crumpled white suit' who 'forever looked either as if he was on his way to a good nap after a good lunch or as if he had just risen from a good nap in time for the cocktail hour and a good supper'. Akass was named British columnist of the year in 1976.
