Fred Davies (12 March 1908 – 16 June 1978)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

A New South Welshman, Davies arrived at Fitzroy from Sydney club Eastern Suburbs.[3] Davies returned to the state at the end of the 1934 VFL season, joining St George, a team he would both captain and coach.[4] He had been captain of Fitzroy for most of 1934, promoted when original captain Jack Cashman moved to Carlton after the opening two rounds.[5]
