Brian Jones (10 December 1938- 25 June 2009) was a British poet.

Jones' first major collection, Poems (consisting of his first book, The Madman in the Reading Room and thirty-seven other poems), was published in 1966, and proved to be successful. Those poems dealt with both the joy and the unease that may be present beneath the surface of what seems to be placid middle-class domesticity. This was very much in a style popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and Jones has been described as "certainly one of the very best practitioners of this overworked vein". two of Brian Jones best-known children's poems are About Friends and How to catch tiddlers.
