Jones, Inigo (1573–1652) English architect, stage designer, and painter. Jones introduced a pure classical style based on the work of Andrea Palladio. His knowledge of Italian architecture gained him enormous prestige in Jacobean and Carolingian England. Buildings include Queen's House, Greenwich (1616–35), and Banqueting House, Whitehall (1619–21).
