Jenkin Lloyd Jones (November 14, 1843 – September 12, 1918) was a Unitarian minister in the United States, and also the uncle of Frank Lloyd Wright.
He founded All Souls Unitarian Church in Chicago, Illinois, as well as its community outreach organization, the Abraham Lincoln Centre.
A radical modernist, he joined the "Unity Men" and stressed a creedless "ethical basis" as the common element for churches.
He tried to move Unitarianism away from a Christian focus and became a prominent pacifist at the time of World War I.
He was a founder and long-time editor of Unity, a liberal religious weekly magazine.
