Vivien Jones, born Vivien Webb in Glasgow on 21 June 1951, was a lacrosse player who won more international caps than any other woman in the sport. Brought up in London, she learned lacrosse at the Lady Eleanor Holles School and trained as a teacher at St. Mary's College in Twickenham.

Eligible for Scotland by birth, Wales by marriage and England by residence, she chose Wales and played 97 times for it between 1977 and 2001, including six Women's Lacrosse World Cups from the first in 1982. With nine caps for the Celts and two for Great Britain her total of 108 is recognised by Guinness World Records as the highest in women's lacrosse. She died of breast cancer on 26 December 2010.
