Dick Jones was an American actor and singer with a career that began in childhood and led to Westerns.

In 1939 he played a Senate page in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and a troublesome kid in Nancy Drew... Reporter. He voiced Pinocchio in Disney's Pinocchio (1940), one of his most prominent roles. At fifteen he took over Henry Aldrich on The Aldrich Family radio program. Gene Autry later cast him in westerns and television; he played Dick West on The Range Rider and starred in Buffalo Bill, Jr. His final acting role was in Requiem for a Gunfighter (1965), and he became a Disney Legend in 2000.
