Arthur Creech Jones (15 May 1891 – 23 October 1964) was a British trade union official and politician.
Originally a civil servant, his imprisonment as a conscientious objector during the First World War forced him to change careers.
He was elected to Parliament in 1935 and developed a reputation for interest in colonial matters, gaining the nickname "unofficial member of the Kikuyu at Westminster".
He served in the Colonial Office in the Labour government of 1945–1950.
After losing his seat in the 1950 general election he was involved in writing and lecturing about British colonies, before returning to Parliament in 1954.
Initially he was known as Arthur Jones, but throughout his time in politics he invariably used his middle name.
