Keith Aubrey Jones (born 14 October 1965) is a former English footballer.

Born in Dulwich, Jones started out with Chelsea as a midfielder, making his full debut in March 1983. After four years he moved onto London neighbours fc|Brentford for a fee of £40,000 for another four year spell. In 1991 he moved to fc|Southend United for £175,000. After impressing at Roots Hall, he was handed the opportunity to join fc|Charlton Athletic in 1994.

Jones had a successful spell at Charlton. Four years after joining, he helped the club into the Premier League and in 1999 he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win of fc|Liverpool. Despite this, he lost his place in Charlton's team to new signings such as Graham Stuart and he was released in 2000. Former Charlton team-mate Alan Pardew signed Jones for fc|Reading. In the 2001–02 season Jones helped the Royals finish runners-up in the Second Division. He retired at the end of the season.

Today, Jones coaches a women's USL club team, the Atlanta Silverbacks, where he won the USL-W Coach of the Year award in 2007. He has also coached the Coweta Cannons '90 Premier youth team.
