John Daniel Jones {{post-nominals|CH}} (13 April 1865 – 19 April 1942) was a Welsh Congregational minister.

He was born in Ruthin, Denbighshire, the son of Joseph David Jones (1827–70), a schoolmaster in the town and a respected musician and composer. The family moved to Tywyn, his mother's home town. In 1877, after the early death of his father, his mother married David Morgan Bynner, a Congregational minister at Chorley. After studying at Manchester University, Lancashire Independent College and St Andrews University, he was ordained at Newland Congregational Church, Lincoln in 1889.^[1]

Jones became well known as the minister of Richmond Hill Church, Bournemouth where he was minister from 1898-1937. He was elected chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales in 1909–10, and again in 1925–6. In 1919 he was elected an honorary secretary of the union, a position which he held until his death.^[2]

Politically a Liberal, Jones spoke regularly in support of his brother Henry Haydn Jones, MP for Merioneth from 1910-45. Lloyd George was a personal friend and in retirement a near neighbour and visitor.^[3]

After his return to Wales to retire, he was the subject of a memorable satirical poem by Saunders Lewis.^[4]
