Mister Jones is a fictional character from the first James Bond film, Dr No, released in 1962. Jones, played by Reginald Carter, is the first Bond villain to officially encounter Bond in the entire film franchise.

In the film, James Bond travels to Jamaica to investigate interference with American space rockets which appears to be originating in the area. As Bond leaves Kingston Airport, Mr Jones, dressed in a beige uniform and cap, coolly greets him and insists that he is a chauffeur from Government House who had been sent to meet him. Bond phones Government House (under the pretext of checking his reservation), but learns that no car has been sent – so Jones is an impostor.

Bond is then driven by Jones along a coastal road. He begins to drive quickly when they are being tailed (by Felix Leiter of the CIA). Bond orders Jones to take a road on the right, losing the pursuers, where the car comes to a stop, with Bond holding the imposter at gun-point. Bond asks Jones is working for, and Jones tries to reach for a pistol in the glove compartment. Despite resistance, Bond is quick to overcome him and again demands to know who he is working for. Jones begs for a cigarette, which unknown to Bond contains cyanide, and dies within seconds.

It is found later that Jones was an agent of SPECTRE and was working for evil genius Dr Julius No, who had ordered that Bond be followed and killed.

In the film, he is portrayed by Reginald Carter.
