Glyn Jones is a South African actor, writer and director.

During late 1964, David Whitaker, the story editor on the BBC series Doctor Who contacted Glyn Jones, whom he had met at a dinner party, with a view to Jones penning an adventure for the programme. By the time Whitaker was replaced by Dennis Spooner, Jones had been commissioned to write The Space Museum. Jones was later dismayed by Spooner's editing of his scripts, which excised much of the humourous content. Spooner felt that such material was inappropriate in what he envisioned as a high-concept science-fiction story. This would be Jones' only contribution to Doctor Who as a writer: a second submission in 1970 being rejected by then-script editor Terrance Dicks.

However, Jones would go on to play Krans in 1975's The Sontaran Experiment. This was a rare example of a Doctor Who production staff member actually acting on the programme.

Jones' other writing credits are A King's Story (1965), The Magnificent Six and ½ (1968) Script editor for the American TV series Here Come the Double Deckers (1970) and The Gold Robbers (1969), also a number of stage plays produced in England and America, Thriller of the year and Beautiful Forever published by Samuel French Ltd, London and Red in the Morning by Samuel Frecnh New york.
