Colin Charles Houghton Davis (born in Marylebone, London, July 29, 1933) is a British former racing driver from England. Son of the legendary "Bentley Boy" and Le Mans winner Sammy Davis (who later became Autocar magazine's distinguished sports editor), he was an advertising executive who raced a 500cc Formula 3 Cooper before decamping to Italy from which he conducted his own racing career. He competed in two World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, finishing 11th in the 1959 Italian Grand Prix in a Scuderia Centro Sud Cooper-Maserati. He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races.

He shared the winning Porsche in the 1964 Targa Florio with Antonio Pucci.
