Richard Henry Jones (born 5 June 1926) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Jones, a rover, joined South Melbourne from East Fremantle, but hailed from rural Western Australia. He kicked a goal in all but one of his 17 games and topped South Melbourne's goal-kicking with 27 majors. During the year he was acting vice-captain. In 1950 he returned to Western Australia and captain-coached Boulder City to a Goldfields National Football League premiership.
