Harold Davies (5 December 1898 - 2 March 1976) was a Welsh rugby union player who represented Wales and the British Lions. Davies played club rugby for Newport and captained the team in the 1925/26 season.

Davies was selected on one occasion in 1924 to represent Wales in an infamous game against Scotland at Inverleith. Wales were completely outclassed letting in eight tries. Although Davies was never selected to play for Wales again he was chosen to represent the British Lions in their 1924 tour of South Africa. He played in just one game against South Africa, in the second test.
