Peter Jones (born 24 February 1954)) is an English football referee, who retired from officiating at the end of the 2001-02 season. He lives in Quorn, near Loughborough, Leicestershire, and works as a referee assessor.
After appearing as a player in the Leicester City Mutual League, he first took up the whistle himself in a local club match in 1971 after he had seen a friend refereeing. He would then go on to officiate in the North Leicestershire League, Midland Intermediate League (dissolved 1988) and eventually the Southern League.
He was promoted to the Football League list of referees in 1988, and he progressed to the FA Premier League list of referees in 1994. In 1996 Jones became a FIFA referee, where he gained wide international experience.
He was then chosen to handle the Charity Shield match at Wembley on 3 August 1997, between Manchester United and Chelsea, which United won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 scoreline at 90 minutes. At the end of the same season, he was appointed to control the Football League Cup Final between Chelsea and Middlesbrough on 29 March 1998, also at Wembley, the 'Blues' being victorious by 2 goals to nil (Frank Sinclair and Roberto Di Matteo both scoring in extra time).
