**Beryl Lillian Jones** (née **Davies**; born 30 July 1932) is a former Australian politician who was a [Labor Party](/source/Australian_Labor_Party_(Western_Australian_Branch)) member of the [Legislative Council](/source/Western_Australian_Legislative_Council) of [Western Australia](/source/Western_Australia) from 1986 to 1993.

Jones was born in [Bootle](/source/Bootle), [Lancashire](/source/Lancashire), England, and after leaving school worked as a nurse. She emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, and re-trained as a schoolteacher, subsequently teaching at various high schools in the [Perth](/source/Perth) metropolitan area. Jones was elected to the [Town of Armadale](/source/City_of_Armadale) council in 1981, and served until the [1986 state election](/source/1986_Western_Australian_state_election), when she was elected to the Legislative Council's [Lower West Province](/source/Lower_West_Province). She became the fifth woman from the Labor Party to serve in the Legislative Council, and the seventh overall. At the [1989 state election](/source/1989_Western_Australian_state_election), all the previous constituencies were abolished, with Jones successfully transferring to the new [South West Region](/source/Electoral_region_of_South_West). She retired from parliament at the [1993 state election](/source/1993_Western_Australian_state_election).[1]
