Roy Thomas "Peaches" Davis (May 31, 1905 – April 28, 1995) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher from 1936 to 1939. He played for the Cincinnati Reds.

Davis' family moved to Duncan, Oklahoma as a child. Davis graduated from Duncan High School and played football at Oklahoma Baptist.[1]

Davis began his professional baseball career with the Class A Topeka Jayhawks of the Western League in 1929.[2] After seven years of minor league baseball, he made his MLB debut with the Reds on July 11, 1936.[3] His final game with the Reds came on August 17, 1939. He returned to minor league baseball for the 1940–42 and 1945 seasons.[2]

Born in Glen Rose, Texas, Davis died in Duncan, a month short of his 90th birthday.
