Joby Warrick is an American journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize. He began working for The Washington Post in 1996, writing about the Middle East, diplomacy and national security. He has also covered the intelligence community, Weapons of Mass Destruction proliferation and the environment, and served as a member of the Post’s investigative unit.

The Overseas Press Club of America gave him their 2003 award for best newspaper interpretation of international affairs for his articles about proliferation threats. In September 2002, Warrick was one of the first journalists to publish reports casting doubt on the Bush administration's claims that aluminum tubes discovered in Iraq were appropriate for use in uranium centrifuges. A February, 2013 report by Warrick about ceramic ring magnets which Iran made an effort to procure was criticized by scientists for the report's assertion that the magnets were specially suited for nuclear fuel enrichment.
