Karl Dickson (born 2 August 1982 in Salisbury, England), is a rugby union player for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership. He is a specialist Scrum-half

Dickson is a product of the Bedford Blues academy system, he was promoted to Bedford’s Senior team in 2004 and made over 100 appearances for the club until 2009 when he joined Harlequins. Although Karl has usually been selected behind England Scrum-half Danny Care at Quins, he remains highly rated within the club with Harlequins Director of Rugby Conor O'Shea stating that he believed Dickson to be "among the best five scrum halves in the country".

Dickson was named in the England Saxons squad on 11 January 2012 but was called up to the England Squad for both the 2012 Six Nations and the South Africa tour due to injuries. Karl came off the bench in the second mid-week fixture against South African Barbarians North, replacing his younger brother Lee, but is yet to receive a full international cap.

He was a replacement for Harlequins in their 2011–12 Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers.
