Edward Lloyd Jones (23 April 1874 – 2 February 1934) was an Australian Shorthorn cattle breeder and Chairman of David Jones Limited. David Jones was founded in Sydney in 1838 and is the world's oldest continuously operating department store still trading under its original name.
Edward Lloyd Jones was born in Sydney, New South Wales, the fourth of six children of Edward Lloyd Jones and grandson of David Jones founder of the department store bearing his name. He was the older brother of Sir Charles Lloyd Jones. He was educated at Newington College from 1885 until 1887, then at All Saints College, Bathurst, and from October 1889 at Sydney Grammar School, although no leaving date is recorded in Grammar's register.
At eighteen years of age, Jones journeyed to England and entered the London office of David Jones. On his return to Australia he gained pastoral and cattle experience in the Burnett district of Queensland. He re-entered the family business upon the death of his father in the train disaster at Redfern, New South Wales in 1894. David Jones was then a private company but in 1906 it became a limited liability company. Jones then became chairman of directors, a position he held until he resigned in 1920. From 1906 until 1910 Jones and his family lived at Halsbury, 12-14 Albyn Road, Strathfield, a large two storey Federation style house designed by architects Slatyer and Cosh in 1898.
