Daniel John Jones (born 14 December 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Port Vale. His preferred position is at centre-back, though he can play at left-back and is also a skilled throw-in taker. He will become a free agent on 30 June 2025.

Jones started his career in Hartlepool United's youth system, signing his first professional contract in 2013. Having been released by the club in 2016, Jones signed for League Two club Grimsby Town, with loan spells at Gateshead and AFC Fylde during the 2016–17 season. He joined Barrow in 2017 and was a first-team regular for two seasons, winning two caps for the England C team, before he joined Salford City on a two-year contract in June 2019. He spent the second half of the 2019–20 season on loan at former club Barrow, which would end in them winning promotion as champions of the National League. He was loaned to Harrogate Town the following season and played in the 2020 FA Trophy final victory over Concord Rangers. He joined Port Vale after being released from Salford at the end of the 2020–21 season. He was loaned to former club Gateshead for the 2024–25 season.
