Sir Walter Benton Jones, 2nd Baronet (26 September 1880 – 5 December 1967) was a British industrialist. He inherited the baronetcy in 1936 when his father died. He studied at Repton School and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1915 he became managing director of Rother Vale Collieries, which owned mines around Treeton near Rotherham in Yorkshire, following his father’s example in business. He held many roles in mining, steel and banking.
He lived at Whirlow Brook Hall in Sheffield, a house he built around 1906, and later at Irnham Hall in Lincolnshire. He married Lily Fawcett. Their children were Peter (9 January 1911 – 11 November 1972), Pamela (24 March 1908 – 22 January 1997) and Rachel Mary (15 November 1918 – 2002).
