Mick Jones (born Michael Leslie Jones, December 27, 1944 in Horsell, Surrey, England) is a guitarist, songwriter and record producer, best known as a member of the rock band Foreigner.

Mick Jones of Foreigner

Jones began his music career in the early 1960s as a member of the band Nero and the Gladiators, who scored two minor British hit singles in 1961. After the demise of the band, Jones worked as a songwriter and session musician for such artists as Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Halliday, until he joined Gary Wright, formerly of the band Spooky Tooth to form Wonderwheel. In 1973, Jones and Wright reformed Spooky Tooth, and after this Jones was a member of the Leslie West Band. He also played guitar on the album Wind of Change (1972) for Peter Frampton, and Dark Horse (1974) for George Harrison.

In 1976 he formed Foreigner with Ian McDonald and recruited vocalist Lou Gramm. Jones co-produced all of the group's albums and co-wrote most of their songs with Gramm. Tensions developed within the band during the early 1980s and were attributed to a difference in musical taste between Gramm who favoured a more hard edged rock as opposed to Jones' interest in synthesisers. Gramm left the band in 1989 but returned in 1991. Also in 1989, Jones released his only solo album titled Mick Jones on the Atlantic Records label.

Mick Jones is not related to the other Mick Jones who was the lead guitarist of The Clash.
