Bobby Ray Jones Jr. (born 9 January 1984) is an American-born naturalised-Equatorial Guinean professional basketball player who plays for U.C. Casalpusterlengo of the Italian Serie A2. He notably played for five different NBA teams in a single season (2007–08), later moving to Italy to continue his career.

Jones played high school basketball with Dominguez (Compton, California) for three years - playing alongside Tyson Chandler - before moving to Long Beach Polytechnic for his senior year amidst the controversial nomination of Mack Calvin as coach.

He joined the University of Washington, playing in the Pacific-10 Conference of the NCAA Division I, in May 2002.

Playing 27 games as a freshman, the last 15 as a starter, he averaged 4.1 rebounds per game. As a sophomore, he was involved in 31 games (25 starts), posting averages of 11.2 points. His junior season saw him start all but one of the 34 games he played in, contributing 11.2 points and a team-best 5.6 rebounds for Washington as they won the 2005 Pac-10 Tournament for the first time.

He averaged 10.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in his senior season. At the end of his Huskies career in 2006, Jones was ranked 20th among the school's all-time scorers with 1,226 career points and 4th in career steals with 134. His last collegiate game was the NABC College All-Star game.

Jones was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 37th pick in the second round of the 2006 NBA draft on 28 June 2006, he was traded the same day to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a 2007 second-round draft pick and cash considerations. He was assigned to the Fort Worth Flyers of the NBA Development League on 28 November, averaging 13.7 points and 8 rebounds in around 24 minutes per game over 3 games, before being recalled on December 8. With the Sixers he would have 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in more than 7 minutes per game in the NBA over 44 appearances, with an end of season flourish of 13.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 31 minutes on average over the last four games of the season.
