Hubert Henry Davies (17 March 1869 – 17 August 1917) was a leading British playwright and dramatist of the early 20th century, following in the tradition of Arthur Wing Pinero and Henry Arthur Jones, but influenced profoundly by Thomas William Robertson.

Hubert Henry Davies was born in Woodley, Cheshire, and spent some time as a journalist in San Francisco.

[1] He began his career in New York with The Weldons (1899), and on his return to Britain, collaborated successfully with the actor-manager Charles Wyndham to produce four West End productions including Cousin Kate (Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1903) and Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace (Wyndham's Theatre, 1903).

Other published plays were Cynthia (1903), Captain Drew on Leave, Lady Epping's Lawsuit, Bevis, A Single Man, Doormats, and Outcast (1914).

[1][2] Davies' Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace was a staple of Australian theatre since 1906 when it was produced by the Flemming-Brough Company.
