Sir Robert Davers, 5th Baronet (1729 – 6 May 1763) was a British baronet and explorer. He was killed during Pontiac's Rebellion while on a surveying expedition of the St. Clair River.

Biography Davers was born at Rushbrooke Hall, Suffolk, the eldest surviving son of Sir Jermyn Davers, 4th Baronet and Margaretta Green. In around 1760 he completed his studies in Lausanne. Reports from the time indicated that Davers body may have been boiled and eaten. It was later determined that although Davers’ body was mutilated, he was given a proper burial near an Ojibwa village.
