Howell Davies (born 6 June 1959) is a Welsh former rugby union international.[1]

Davies, raised in the village of Pyle, was a fullback and played his club rugby for Bridgend RFC, which included a prolific 422-point season in 1983/84.[2] He earned all four of his Wales caps in the 1984 Five Nations Championship and was their top scorer with 39 points, to set a Welsh tournament record.[3] His career was then curtailed by a series of knee injuries and by 1986 he had been forced into a premature retirement at the age of 27.[4]
