Ruth Dianne Hines also "Ruth Diana Hines" (1951-; ) was an Australian Accounting academic at Macquarie University from 1978 to 1994, part of the Alternative or Critical Perspectives on Accounting movement. She is best known for her 1988 paper, "Financial Accounting: in Communicating Reality, We Construct Reality". Google Scholar in August-2018 shows this cited 1214 times (July-2017: 1089), comparing well to the 8160 (July-2017: 7440) of the 1968 "Ball and Brown" paper, winner of the inaugural "Seminal Paper" in Economics award.

Hines left Academe to write poetry and children's books after gaining her PhD.

While a lecturer at Macquarie University, her PhD was supervised by Kenneth Peasnell of Lancaster University Management School (LUMS).

Her 1996 piece "Net profit is a God", is a poem from her PhD Dissertation and was invited for a special edition of AAAJ. It only appears in the printed version of the journal.
