Lyn Davies (2 February 1940 — 15 September 2004) was a Welsh international rugby union player.[1]

Davies was born in Blaengarw and worked as a colliery worker.[2]

A bulky three-quarter, Davies was nicknamed "Tanky" for his ability to barge through defences. He played with the Army during national service, the Welsh Guards, London Welsh and won his Wales caps while at Bridgend, making three appearances as a winger in the 1966 Five Nations Championship.[3]
