Cleon Joseph Jones (born August 4, 1942 in Plateau, Alabama) is a former Major League Baseball left fielder who played for the New York Mets from 1963 to 1975. He played for a few weeks with the Chicago White Sox in 1976. His best season was with the so-called "Miracle Mets" of 1969, when he batted .340 (third in the National League), and was selected as an All Star. Many feel his being pulled out of a game by manager Gil Hodges was a pivotal point in that 1969 season.

Jones was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1991.
