Simon Jones (born 29 May 1972, Lancashire, England) is an accomplished musician, who played bass for the English band, The Verve.

Most of the rhythm aspects of the Verve's albums, particularly the renowned track "Bitter Sweet Symphony" were based around the complex songwriting of the band, supported by the solid rhythm tracks created by Jones, often in the studio on a metallic Red Aria Pro II RBS bass, ultimately played live on his Fender Jazz bass guitar. The Aria has always played a significant part in the creation of The Verve's songs.

After the break up of The Verve, Jones would later re-emerge playing bass and writing songs for the short lived UK band The Shining, who would release just one album in 2002.

Since 2004 Jones has been an official member of the backing band for Cathy Davey.

In November 2005 he performed with the Gorillaz live band playing guitar at the Manchster Opera House as part of the Manchester International Festival alongside fellow "The Verve" member Simon Tong.

In June 2007, he rejoined The Verve in their reunion.
