Doug Davies (13 October 1930 – 24 March 1991)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Davies was a reserve in Geelong's 1948 seconds premiership team and won a Gardiner Medal in 1950. His appearances in the seniors were limited, after playing eight games in his first season he added just four more over the next two years.[3] A rover, he won another Gardiner Medal in 1955, while captain-coach.[4] This gave him the distinction of being the first player to win the award twice. He then went on to play with Geelong West.
