Steve Jones (born 17 March 1970 in Cambridge) is an English former professional footballer.

Jones started his footballing career at non-league clubs Basildon United and then Billericay Town. He moved to West Ham United in November 1992 for £22,500, and made his first senior appearance for the East London club in a reserve fixture against Southampton on 17 November 1992. He made his first-team debut away to Cosenza in the Anglo-Italian Cup on 8 December 1992, and set up the only goal of the game for Clive Allen. His first goal for the club came against Barnsley on 6 February 1993, ten minutes into his full First Division debut.

After just three starts during the 1993-94 Premiership campaign, Jones joined Bournemouth in October 1994.

In January 1996, after a successful spell at the south coast club, West Ham manager Harry Redknapp again brought the player back to Upton Park for a fee of £150,000, with Mark Watson moving to Dean Court. He joined Charlton Athletic a year later for £400,000.

After another short spell at Bournemouth, Jones moved to Bristol City and had loan spells at Brentford, Southend United and Wycombe Wanderers. He became player-coach for Isthmian League team Hornchurch in June 2002.

Following retirement, Jones ran a memorabilia shop on Shaftesbury Avenue until its closure in 2006.
