Jeremiah Dyke (baptised 1584 – 1639) was an English conforming Puritan minister.

Life

His father William Dyke was a minister at Hempstead, Essex, dispossessed for nonconformity, and then a preacher at Coggeshall; and Daniel Dyke was his brother. He was educated at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, matriculating in 1598, graduating B.A. in 1602 and M.A. in 1605. He then became a Fellow of the College.

After taking orders he was preferred briefly to the living of Toft, Cambridgeshire, and then Epping in Essex in 1609, which he held till his death. His name or that of his brother is among those of the ministers who subscribed the Book of Discipline. Thomas Fuller says he was 'guardian of his brother's works', which he published in 1635.
