Ross Owen Davies (born 4 February 1955) is an Australian former Anglican bishop. He was the bishop of the Diocese of The Murray in the Anglican Church of Australia from 2002 to 2010.
Davies was educated at the University of Melbourne (BA 1977, LLB 1979) and St Barnabas College, Adelaide (Australian College of Theology, ThL 1981). He served in parishes in Australia until 1991, the last of which was as rector of St Paul's, Camperdown.
