|Arthur Edward Jones Jr. (June 13, 1919 — August 29, 1995) was an American professional football player who was a defensive back for two seasons (1941, 1945) with the Pittsburgh Steelers of National Football League (NFL). After playing college football for the Richmond Spiders, he was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (11th overall) of the 1941 NFL draft. His rights were transferred to the Steelers due to the events later referred to as the Pennsylvania Polka. He served in World War II for the United States Navy before rejoining the Steelers in 1945.

In 1975, Jones was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
