Robin Harvard Davies (12 January 1934 — 7 October 2011) was a Welsh international rugby union player.

Born and raised in London, Davies was educated at King's College School in the city's Wimbledon district and gained three rugby blues while a chemistry student at the University of Oxford.[1]

Davies gained six Wales caps playing as a wing-forward between 1957 and 1962, which included their win over the touring 1957–58 Wallabies at Cardiff Arms Park.[2] He toured South Africa with the Barbarians in 1958 and took over as captain of his club London Welsh in the 1959–60 season.[3]
