Toby Jones (born September 7, 1967) is a British actor from Oxford. He is the son of noted character actor Freddie Jones.

In 2001 he starred in the London West End comedy The Play What I Wrote, which was directed by Kenneth Branagh. His comedic turn as Arthur earned him the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and when the play moved to Broadway in 2003, he was nominated for a Tony Award.
Jones has appeared in more than twenty films since his first role in 1992 in the film adaptation of Orlando. He voiced Dobby, the house-elf, in the Harry Potter films and played Oblomov in the 2005 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of the novel.
