Harold C. S. Jones (10 November 1904 – 23 January 1986) was an English international rugby union player.

Jones was educated at Trent College and Birkenhead School.

A prop, Jones played his club rugby for Manchester. He was a Lancashire representative player and in 1929 featured on the "Probables" side (against "Possibles") in trials for the England team, but didn't receive a call up. In 1930, Jones went on tour with the British Lions to New Zealand and Australia, as a late replacement after Peter Howard had to withdraw. He played a total of 11 matches over the course of the tour.
