Evan 'Jonesy' Jones is a fictional character from Blue Heelers, the Australian police drama television series which depicted the lives of police officers in a small town in Victoria. Jones was introduced in 2001 and remained until the show ended in 2006. He was portrayed by Ditch Davey.

'Jonesy' was introduced into the show as a Probationary Constable who had joined the Police force in his late twenties in order to avenge the death of Sam, his biological father. Soon after joining the Mt. Thomas Station he became a prime suspect when Les Anderson, his biological father's former business partner and suspected killer was assaulted and left for dead, although he was later cleared of suspicion. He was known to come from a strong Policing family having his half brother, Senior Detective Dylan Jones and adoptive father Commander Reg Jones also in the Police force. His mother was assumed to be deceased although her death is not mentioned.

Jones was a rebellious headstrong character who was often criticised for his non-team oriented ways and 'Cowboy' nature. He also constantly found himself in trouble with senior officers from the moment he arrived in town particularly Ben Stewart and Senior Sargent Tom Croyden, who strongly disapproved of Jones' motives for joining in the first place and later went on to continually question his choice of staying in the Job. Later on in the series he was promoted to Senior Constable and after Senior Detective P.J. Hasham had left the station he partnered up with Detective Senior Constable Amy Fox and later also joined her as a Detective Senior Constable before the shows end.

Jonesy's chaotic love life was a constant turmoil for the character throughout the series. Early during the series he had an emotional and ambiguous relationship with his Sergeant Tess Gallagher. Tess, overwhelmed by her colleague's affection sought safety in a marriage with rogue doctor Josh Carmicheal and later left the series. Senior Constable Susie Raynor's relationship with Jonesy provided more promise and even culminated in a marriage proposal. But due to her presumptuous, fleeting affairs with Sergeant Ben Stewart, Senior Constable Alex Kirby and drug dealer Jason Tyler; Susie and Jonesy's relationship broke down, although the pair remained friends and semi-reconciled in the final episode of the series. He is the 8th Longest character behind Tom, Chris, P.J., Maggie, Ben, Nick and Jo
