Sir Howard Davies (born 12 February 1951) is a British economist and the former Director of London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), from 2003 to May 2011. He resigned from this position in March 2011 in the wake of controversy over the LSE's decision to accept funding from a foundation controlled by the Libyan leader's son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, and over the LSE's Libyan links.

Davies previously served as the first chairman of the Financial Services Authority.
