Cyril Allun Havard Davies (21 November 1936 — 21 July 2017) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Born in Ammanford, Davies attended Amman Valley Grammar School and was a Wales Schools under-15s captain.
Davies, a centre, played his first-class rugby for Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli. He won seven Wales caps in irregular appearances between 1957 and 1961, including a win against the visiting 1957/58 Wallabies side in Cardiff. Knee injuries plagued him during his career and a broken nose brought about his eventual retirement in 1964/65 season, having returned to his hometown club Ammanford, which he then served as coach.
