George Glenn Jones, född 12 september 1931 i Saratoga i Hardin County, Texas, död 26 april 2013 i Nashville, Tennessee, var en amerikansk countrysångare, gitarrist och låtskrivare. Han slog igenom 1955 och tilldelades flera priser, däribland två Grammy Awards. Bland hans kända hits finns låtar som "He stopped loving her today", "The Grand Tour" och "White lightning". Han var nästan lika känd för sitt äktenskap med Tammy Wynette mellan 1969 och 1975 som för sitt omfattande alkohol- och drogmissbruk.
Jones var sedan 1992 invald i Country Music Hall of Fame. George Jones dog 2013 efter en kort tids sjukdom.
