Thomas Daniel Jones (1884 - February 8, 1958) was a Welsh footballer and football club manager. He represented Wales at international level.

Jones was born in Aberaman where his father was a grocer and also the Constable of Higher Miskin, an ancient office and ceremonial post. He played for his local side before joining Aberdare Athletic in 1903.

In 1904, Jones joined Nottingham Forest, remaining an amateuer as he did throughout his career. He played just twice for the Forest first team, returning to Aberdare Athletic in 1905. In 1908 he made his only appearance for the Wales national team, a 1-0 defeat against Ireland played at Aberdare. He later became club secretary at Aberdare.

In the summer of 1923, Jones took over as secretary-manager of Merthyr Town, guiding them to a respectable 13th place in Division Three (South). He left his post in 1924 and later worked as a scout for Cardiff City. He was also a vice-president of the FA of Wales.

Outside of football, he qualified as a solicitor in 1913 and subsequently practised in this role in Aberdare.

Jones died in Porthcawl on February 8, 1958.
