Johnnie Henry Jones (born June 30, 1962) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Though drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 1985, injuries prevented him from playing in the National Football League (NFL). He joined Hamilton in 1987, when he was nominated for the CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award. In 1990, he played for the Albany Firebirds in the Arena Football League (AFL).

Jones played college football at the University of Tennessee from 1981 to 1984, setting school records for career rushing yards, most rushing yards in a season, and most rushing yards in a game. He was named a second-team All American by the Associated Press in 1984.
