Fred Alan Jones (23 February 1927 – 14 August 2009) was an English-born Scottish first-class cricketer and schoolmaster.

Jones was born at Macclesfield, where he was educated at The King's School. ^[1] From there, he went up to Balliol College, Oxford. ^[1] While at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Worcestershire at Oxford in 1951. ^[2] Mentioned by The Times as one to watch at the start of both the 1951 and 1952 seasons, ^[3] Jones was unable to establish himself and played just four first-class matches for Oxford. ^[2]

After graduating from Oxford, Jones became a schoolmaster. Starting in 1954, he began playing first-class cricket for Scotland, debuting against Derbyshire at Buxton. ^[2] 1954 also saw Jones making his debut in minor counties cricket for Cheshire, an infrequent association he would maintain until 1960, with four appearances in the Minor Counties Championship. ^[4] He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1961, making eight appearances. ^[2]

Jones spent time teaching in Pakistan during the first half of the 1960s. ^[5] He played first-class cricket as a wicketkeeper-batsman for Hyderabad in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy from 1962 to 1964, making four appearances and captaining the team in his last match. ^{[2] [3]}

Overall, Jones played in a total of 16 first-class matches, scoring 618 runs at an average of 19.93, with a high score of 88, ^[1] when he top-scored for Scotland against the touring Indians in 1959. ^[3]

Jones lived the remainder of his life in Scotland, and died at Edinburgh in August 2009. ^[3]
