John Cledwyn Davies (1869 – 31 December 1952)[1] was a Welsh Liberal Party politician, educationist and lawyer.
His most senior positions were as Headmaster of Holywell Secondary School, Flintshire and then as Director of Education for the county of Denbighshire.
He emerged more publicly into the political light at the 1922 general election against the background of the continuing split in the Liberal Party between the followers of David Lloyd George and H H Asquith.
According to one historian, only in its stronghold of rural north Wales was Coalition Liberalism able to survive unaided against Conservative and Labour attacks.
The Denbigh Liberal Association were unhappy with Morris-Jones and decided to select a new candidate, settling on Davies.
