John Humphreys Davies (15 April 1871 – 10 August 1926) was a Welsh lawyer, bibliographer and educator.
Born at Llangeitho, Ceredigion, he received his education at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth and Lincoln College, Oxford, before being called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn. His interest in Welsh literature is accredited to his association with O. M. Edwards at Oxford and his brother-in-law, T. E. Ellis. Along with Sir John Williams, who would be his President while Principal at Aberystwyth, he was involved in the movement to establish a National Library for Wales.[1]
In 1905 he became Registrar of his alma mater, and principal in 1919, a position which he held until his death.[1]
