Richard Earl Davis (born September 25, 1953) is an American former professional baseball player.

During spring training in 1981, the Brewers traded Davis to the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Randy Lerch.

While the Phillies sent Nordhagen on to the Pittsburgh Pirates on the same day in exchange for another outfielder, Bill Robinson, Davis stayed in Toronto for an entire week, appearing in three games and going 2-for-7 at the plate.

Davis found a second career with the Kintetsu Buffaloes of the Japanese Pacific League, who signed him for the 1984 season.

During the season, he hit home runs in six straight games to tie a league record.
