Ivor Davies (born August 12, 1915 – died 1986) was a British Liberal Party activist and parliamentary candidate; journalist and United Nations Association administrator. Politically, his chief claim to fame was his decision in October 1938 to withdraw as Liberal candidate at the Oxford by-election along with the Labour candidate Patrick Gordon-Walker to allow an independent, Popular Front, anti-Munich candidate, A. D. Lindsay, the Master of Balliol, to challenge the government candidate Quintin Hogg.

“And I could see that child’s one eye
Which seemed to laugh, and say with glee:

Perhaps my mother murdered me.’
