David Lowell Davis (born 20 February 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League North club Kidderminster Harriers.

Having trained with Walsall's Centre of Excellence as a boy, and then played local football for Tividale, Davis began a scholarship in Wolverhampton Wanderers' youth academy in 2007. He turned professional in 2009, and made his senior debut the same year while on loan to Darlington of League Two. He spent time on loan at three other clubs in the lower leagues – Walsall and Chesterfield of League One and League Two Shrewsbury Town – as well as at Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle, before making seven appearances for Wolves in the Premier League at the end of the 2011–12 season during their unsuccessful fight against relegation. Although playing fairly regularly in the Championship, he never established himself as a consistent member of the starting eleven as Wolves were again relegated. He fell out of favour the following season, and left for West Midlands neighbours Birmingham City in August 2014. He spent six-and-a-half years with the club, during which he made nearly 200 appearances in all competitions and was voted Birmingham's Player of the Year for 2016–17 before falling out of favour and spending time on loan at Charlton Athletic. He was released by mutual consent in January 2021 and joined Shrewsbury Town. After 18 months, he was released and signed for Forest Green Rovers.
