James Davies (Iago ap Dewi) (1800 – 16 April 1869) was a Welsh poet, and printer. He was born and grew up at Pencader in Carmarthenshire, where he worked from a young age as a farm labourer. When about 20 years of age, he began an apprenticeship with John Evans, a local printer, at the Seren Gomer office. His poetry was encouraged by two colleagues: W. E. Jones ("Gwilym Cawrdaf") and William Thomas ("Gwilym Mai").
