Burke Jones (April 25, 1903 – January 30, 1983) was an American soccer player. He earned three caps with the U.S. national team in 1924. His first two caps came in the 1924 Summer Olympics.[2] The U.S. won its first game 1-0 against Estonia, but lost to Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Following its elimination from the tournament, the U.S. played two exhibition games. Jones played the first, a win over Poland. That was Jones' last game with the national team.[3] At the time of the Olympics, he played for the Bridgevill Football Club.
