Joseph Davies (magazine editor)

was a Welsh solicitor and magazine publisher.

He was originally from the Builth Wells area, but trained as a solicitor and took up a position with a firm in Liverpool.

He was the founding editor of the monthly periodical Y Brud a Sylwydd, eight editions of which were published between January and August 1828.

He invented a large number of novel Welsh words that he thought were needed to modernise the language.
