Eric Quail Davies (26 August 1909 – 11 November 1976), was a South African cricketer, who played in five Test matches from 1936 to 1939.

Davies was a right-arm fast bowler and left-handed tail-end batsman with a 16-match first-class cricket career extending from 1929 to 1946.

[3] That led to his selection for the fourth Test of the five-match series; the game was a crushing defeat inside two days for the South Africans, but Davies performed well, taking four for 75 in the touring team's only innings.

This time, he played for Transvaal against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) team, and took six for 82 in the tourists' only innings.

Davies played very little further first-class cricket: in the ad hoc cricket of the 1945–46 season in South Africa, with no official tournaments organised for the first season after the Second World War, he turned out three times for North-Eastern Transvaal and those were his final first-class games.
