Roland Jones (November 18, 1813 – February 5, 1869) was an American politician who represented Louisiana in the United States House of Representatives from 1853 to 1855.
Jones was born in Salisbury, North Carolina where he attended private schools. Later, he taught school in Wilkesboro, North Carolina from 1830 to 1835. He graduated from Cambridge Law School in 1838 and was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Brandon, Mississippi. He was also editor of the Brandon Republican from 1838 to 1840 before he moved to Shreveport, Louisiana in 1840 and resumed the practice of law.
Jones was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1844 to 1848 and a district judge of Caddo Parish in 1851 and 1852.
