Sir Willoughby Jones 3rd Baronet (24 November 1820 - 21 August 1884) was Norfolk landowner and an English Conservative Party politician. He was briefly Member of Parliament (MP) for the Cheltenham constituency
Jones was the son Major-General John Jones, who had earlier fought in the Peninsular and his wife Catherine Lawrence. He inherited the Jones baronetcy from his brother in 1845.
In July 1847 he won the seat of Cheltenham by a majority of 108; however, he was unseated by petition in May 1848. He lived at Cranmer Hall in Norfolk where in 1860 he had to order the felling of the Bale Oak.
Jones' daughter Maud was deaf and subject to the interest of Alexander Graham Bell, whose initial research on the telephone was to improve communication with the deaf.
