Jill Marie Jones (born January 4, 1975) is an African-American actress.
After attending Duncanville High School, and Texas Woman's University, she started modeling, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting full time.

She has also performed on "Monday Night Football" and "The Miss Texas Pageant."
Jones' portrayal of the self-centered and materialistic Toni Childs for six seasons in Girlfriends marked her first regular role in a series; in May of 2006 it was confirmed that Jones left Girlfriends because her contract ended . Some viewers were upset about her departure and the ratings suffered a decline. Her other acting credits include the Saturday morning series City Guys as well as the made-for-television trilogy America's Dream, which starred Danny Glover and Wesley Snipes.
Jones appeared in the 2007 film The Perfect Holiday, which also stars Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard as well as Morris Chestnut, Rachel True, and Gabrielle Union.
