Winston Walter Davis (born 18 September 1958 in Sion Hill, Kingstown, St Vincent) was a West Indian cricketer. Davis played his first representative match for West Indies Young Cricketers against their English counterparts at Port-of-Spain in August 1976, making an immediate impact by taking 4-35 in his first innings, including the wickets of future Test cricketers David Gower, Mike Gatting and Paul Downton.

Despite sending down rather too many no balls at times, Davis finished the season with 42
