Anthony "Tony" Jones (born. July 10, 1961) is an Australian sports journalist.

In his career, Jones has been most noted for his work with the Nine Network in Australia, as a sports reporter for National Nine News and host of Sunday's edition of The Footy Show.

One of the most famous incidents he has reported on in recent times was the Whispers in the Sky umpiring scandal in the Australian Football League. This caused criticism towards Jones, some labelling him a "gutter journalist"^{[citation needed]}.
