Nigel David Jones (born 30 March 1948) is a politician in the United Kingdom. He is Liberal Democrat member of Parliament for Cheltenham, and has been since 1992.

In 2000, a deranged constituent attacked him and an assistant, Andrew Pennington (a local councillor) with a Japanese samurai sword. Pennington was killed, and Jones was severely injured. The assailant, Robert Ashman, was found guilty of manslaughter and attempted murder, and was sent to a secure hospital.
