Oliver Jones (c.1610-1682) was an Irish politician and judge of the seventeenth century, who was noted for his Roman Catholic sympathies, and for changing sides during the English Civil War. He was born in Athlone, the third son of John Jones, a merchant, and Jane Messett. He was admitted to the King's Inns in 1638. He entered the Irish House of Commons as MP for Athlone in 1639. He was generally believed to have Roman Catholic sympathies, and as a result he clashed with the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Earl of Strafford and with Strafford's key ally Richard Bolton, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. After Strafford's downfall and death in 1641 Jones was active in the impeachment of Lord Chancellor Bolton.
