Robert Peter Davies-Jones is a British atmospheric scientist who substantially advanced understanding of supercell and tornado dynamics and of tornadogenesis.

A theoretician, he utilized numerical simulations as well as storm chasing field investigations in his work as a longtime research meteorologist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, Oklahoma.

From 1969 to 1970 Davies-Jones did a post-doc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) before embarking on a long career at NSSL in 1970.

He retired from NSSL in 2009 where he remains an emeritus researcher and continues to publish some papers.

Davies-Jones earned the NOAA Distinguished Career Award[1] and in 2018 the Nikolai Dotzek Lifetime Achievement Award by the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL).
