Gawain Jones (born 1987) is a chess Grandmaster.

Jones was born in Yorkshire, England and began playing chess at the age of four, competing in his first tournaments at six. In early 1997 he hit the headlines and was featured on the front page of The Guardian newspaper when he became the youngest player in the world ever to beat an International Master in an official tournament game.[1] He has represented England in World Championships on many occasions as a junior and as of 2008 is one of England's highest rated players.[2] He has lived in Italy and in Ireland and his first book, Starting Out: The Grand Prix Attack (ISBN 978-1857445473), has recently been published by Everyman Chess.
