Anthony Hopkins Davis (c. August 1796 – 4 June 1866) was a businessman and horticulturist in the early days of the Colony of South Australia.
Business may have been precarious, as in 1837 he and his wife Mary and four children were among the earliest emigrants to South Australia, aboard Lord Goderich, arriving in April 1838.
[1] In 1846, he took part in the protests against state-sponsored religion and was one of four secretaries to the Anti - State Aid League, the other three being Chief Justice R. D. Hanson, John Baker and William Bakewell.
He was a member of the Central Roads Board during the fierce agitation against the dray and land taxes in 1849-50, both of which the Government was forced to abandon.
He stood for West Torrens at the first elections for the unicameral South Australian Legislative Council in 1851, but was defeated by Charles Simeon Hare, by a majority of two.
