USS Commodore Jones was a ferryboat acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.

She was outfitted by the Union Navy as a heavily armed gunboat and assigned to the blockade of the waterways of the Confederate States of America.

Serving with the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Commodore Jones operated in Virginia's rivers and on her coast from 11 May 1863.

She patrolled the James River frequently in the course of her service, and there on 6 May 1864, she was destroyed by an electrically fired mine.
