Reginald "Roger" Jones (1 September 1902 – 11 December 1967) was an English footballer who played at left-half for Port Vale from 1923 to 1937. He made 346 appearances, 326 of which came in league games in the Football League. He helped the club to win the Third Division North title in 1929–30.

Career Jones played for minor non-League sides Middleport and Ravensdale before joining Port Vale in July 1923.
