Myrtle Jones (January 23,1913 - February 15, 2005) was an artist whose paintings commonly featured streetscapes and architecture of Savannah, Georgia, as well as portraits.

Jones was born in Forsyth County, Georgia and moved to Savannah in 1943. Jones took up painting in 1950, and although she eventually studied at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, was primarily self-taught.
