William Henry Davison, 1st Baron Broughshane, KBE, FSA, JP, DL (1872 – 19 January 1953) was a British peer and Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Kensington South for twenty-four years.

During the Great War, he was solely responsible for raising, equipping, clothing, housing and selecting the officers for the 22nd (Service) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (Kensington).

On their disbandment in February 1918, their former commanding officer, Brigadier-General Randle Barnett Barker wrote, "The 22nd never lost a trench or failed their comrades in the day of battle".

He called on the government to give more transparent explanations as to the cost of its taxation demands and early on was one of the MPs behind a deposit system towards responsible candidate selection at election time.

During the war, he was a loyal friend to Winston Churchill and defended the Prime Minister when the Conservatives were verbally attacked in the Commons by truculent Labour left-wingers.

[6] From the very outset, Davison had pressed Neville Chamberlain to take prompt action against the British Union of Fascists' leader, Oswald Mosley.

On 19 September 1945, Davison resigned his seat by being raised to the peerage as Baron Broughshane of Kensington in the County of London shortly after the general election..[9] In the subsequent by-election, the Conservative candidate held on to the constituency.
