Owen Gould Davis (January 29, 1874 – October 14, 1956) was an American dramatist known for writing more than 200 plays and having most produced.

Before the First World War, he wrote racy sketches of New York high jinks and low life for the Police Gazette under the name of Ike Swift.

Davis also wrote under several other pseudonyms, including Martin Hurley, Arthur J. Lamb, Walter Lawrence, John Oliver, and Robert Wayne.

[4] His brother William Hammatt Davis later served as chairman of the National War Labor Board in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration.

His entry in the Encyclopedia of American Drama notes, "The plays all contain life-threatening, visually exciting predicaments out of which the good emerge at the ultimate expense of the villains who put them there.

[3] Davis wrote scripts for the radio program The Gibson Family, which presented each episode in the form of a Broadway musical.
