William Edward Jones (31 October 1916 – 25 July 1996) was a Welsh cricketer active from 1937 to 1958 who played for Glamorgan.


He appeared in 345 first-class matches as a left-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox spin. He scored 13,536 runs with eleven centuries and took 192 wickets with a best performance of five for 50.


His highest score was 212 not out against Essex in 1948,[1] when he put on 313 for the third wicket with Emrys Davies in three and a quarter hours.[2] 1948 was his most successful season: he hit his only other double-century, 207 against Kent in 245 minutes,[3] and scored 1656 runs in all matches at an average of 40.39,[4] and took 47 wickets at 25.53,[5] to help Glamorgan to their first County Championship.
