David Roy Davies (12 August 1928 – 14 July 2013) was a Welsh cricketer. Davies was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. He was educated in his later early years at Cardiff University.
Davies made a single first-class appearance for Glamorgan in 1950 against Somerset.[1] In the match, he scored 7 runs in his only first-class innings.[2]
