Jonas Blaymire (died 1763) was an architectural draughtsman, surveyor and measurer likely of Yorkshire or County Durham origins active in Dublin and Ireland for much of the mid 18th century.
It is supposed that he may be the Mr "Bell Mires" that taught Thomas Ivory draughtsmanship.
He is most known today for a series of illustrations of cathedrals commissioned by Walter Harris in Ware's Works (1738) and the The History and Antiquities of the City of Dublin: From the Earliest Accounts (1766) both of which featured original illustrations as well as adapted works from earlier illustrations in Charles Brooking's map of Dublin (1728).
Among his more famous works are illustrations of Armagh Cathedral and Lismore Cathedral among others.
He died at Loughboy, County Kilkenny on 12 June 1763.
