Aaron Jones (1881–1954) was an English professional footballer who made 59 appearances in the Football League playing for Barnsley, Birmingham and Notts County.[1] He played as a forward.

Jones was born in Walsall, Staffordshire. His scoring rate of a goal every other game for Barnsley,[1] his first professional club, prompted First Division club Birmingham to pay £170 for his services in May 1905.[2] However, he found himself unable to dislodge the established forwards, Billy Jones, Benny Green and Arthur Mounteney,[3] and played only five games before moving on to fellow First Division club Notts County.[2] Jones scored six goals in 22 league games for County, his last Football League club.[1]

Jones died in Yorkshire in 1954.[2]
