Percy Sydney Twentyman-Jones (born 13 September 1876, Beaufort, died March 8, 1954, Cape Town) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1902.
Twentyman-Jones played for Western Province from 1898 to 1905 as a right-handed batsman. He scored 33 and 50 (out of a total of just 80) against the touring Australian cricket team on a bad pitch and was picked for the third Test match at Cape Town. But he was dismissed without scoring in both innings.
Twentyman-Jones also played Rugby Union for Western Province and South Africa.
Qualifying as a lawyer in 1898, Twentyman-Jones was appointed a judge in 1926 and had a prominent career in criminal cases. He was also a prominent sports administrator. His daughter passed his legal and other papers to the University of Cape Town Library in 1976: they include photographs of South African cricket teams from the 1880s and later.
