Gordon Lindsay Jones (2 November 1913 – 3 December 1999) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was the cousin of Melbourne footballers Colin Niven and Ray Niven. A Maryborough recruit, he had a strong year in 1938 when he gathered 12 Brownlow Medal votes to finish as the best placed Melbourne player and equal ninth overall. Jones debuted in League football with a solid performance as a ruckman in the opening round of the 1935 VFL season when Melbourne lost to Essendon 15.9 (99) to 24.15 (159). He was primarily a follower during his career but also played at centre half back, the position in which he was a member of Melbourne's 1939 and 1940 premiership teams. Jones won the Donald Gift in 1935.
