Popis: We have investigated the structural, magnetic, dielectric, and magnetodielectric properties of brownmillerite-structured polycrystalline KBiFe2O5 (KBFO) sample synthesized using conventional solid-state reaction route. Monoclinic structure with P2/c space group is determined from Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Temperatures-dependent magnetic and dielectric data show a broad hump around 510 °C, indicating the existence of magnetodielectric effect in KBFO. Room-temperature M–H hysteresis measurement possesses a weak ferromagnetic order (MR = 0.006 emu/g and Hc = 1100 Oe) originating from the canted Fe3+ moments due to antiferromagnetic ordering. This canted Fe3+ moment is also reflected in magnetic field variation of magnetodielectric (MD) measurement at room temperature, in which MD does not trace the original path by reversing the field. The highest magnetodielectric response is obtained to be ~ − 1.8% at room temperature. Modulus and complex impedance spectrum analysis attributes the bulk contribution to the observed room-temperature magnetodielectric at high frequency (> 10 kHz) and extrinsic contribution (
