Herbert Arthur Jones (22 August 1918 - 5 December 1998) was an English international rugby union player.[1]

A farmer from Landkey, Devon, Jones made three appearances for England as a lock in the 1950 Five Nations Championship, debuting against Wales at Twickenham. He purportedly lost his place in the side for the final fixture against Scotland due to a fight he had with the French forwards in the match at Colombes.[2]

Jones captained the combined Devon and Cornwall team against the touring 1951–52 Springboks.[3]
