InfoRobert Gambrell "Bob" Jones (born May 9, 1939) is a stockbroker in Lake Charles who served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1968-1972 and in the State Senate from 1972-1976. He is the son of the late Louisiana Governor Sam Houston Jones.

In 1975, Jones was an unsuccessful intraparty opponent to Democratic Governor Edwin Washington Edwards, who secured the second of four nonconsecutive gubernatorial terms in the state's first ever jungle primary. In 1978, Jones switched affiliation to the Republican Party, but he never sought office thereafter as a member of the GOP.
