Frederic Phelp Jones (1871 – 1944) was an English international rugby union player.
A three-quarter, Jones served as captain of both New Brighton and Cheshire. He gained his solitary international cap in England's 1893 Calcutta Cup loss to Scotland at Leeds and was considered by many the side's best performer.[1][2]
Jones worked in the clay industry.[3]
