Patricia Jones (born 16 October 1930) is a Canadian athlete who competed mainly in the 100 metres.
She competed for Canada in the 1948 Summer Olympics held in London, United Kingdom, in the 4 × 100 metres where she won the bronze medal with her team mates Viola Myers, Nancy MacKay and Diane Foster.
