Allan Davis (born 29 September 1948) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He played as a forward and topped the club's goalkicking charts in 1971 and 1973.

Davis was the youngest member of the Saints' 1966 grand final win. On leaving the Saints in 1976 (after 173 VFL games for 303 goals) he had stints with Melbourne (41 games for 36 goals), Essendon (33 games for 27 goals) and Collingwood (3 games for 1 goal).

He later played in Tasmania with Latrobe in the North Western Football Union, and served as caretaker coach of the Saints for the last four games of 1987 after Darrel Baldock suffered a minor stroke.^[1]
