Dion Neutra (October 8, 1926 November 24, 2019) was a modernist / International style American architect and consultant who worked originally with his father, Richard Neutra (1892–1970).

Neutra started training with his father at age 11.[1] He attended the University of Southern California, spending his junior year abroad studying at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology architecture program in Zurich, and graduated cum laude.[1]

Neutra became president of the Neutra company upon Richard Neutra's death in 1970.[1] He worked with current owners of Neutra properties to update them sympathetically with original design intentions.[1]

Neutra hosted the 85th anniversary party for Neutra Architecture 1926-2011 from April 8–10, 2011 at the Eagle Rock Recreation Center and the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences.[2]

Neutra died on November 24, 2019, at his home on Neutra Place ("Reunion House") in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles at the age of 93.[3][1]
