Pleas E. Jones (December 23, 1912 – September 20, 1986) was an American lawyer and jurist from Kentucky. A native of Whitley County, Kentucky, Jones was a schoolteacher before he served in the U.S. Army during World War II. After returning to the United States, Jones earned his law degree at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Jones was a county judge and a Commonwealth's attorney before being elected a circuit judge. In 1973, Jones was appointed an associate justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals—then the state's highest court. He served on that court (subsequently renamed the Kentucky Supreme Court) until his retirement in 1979. He died seven years later.
