John Walter Jones was a politician and farmer in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

In 1935, he received the King George V medal as the best farmer in the province. Born in Pownal, he first ran for public office in the 1921 federal election as a Farmer-Progressive candidate, but failed to win a seat in the Canadian House of Commons.
