Rhisiart Morgan Davies (4 February 1903 – 1958) was a Welsh physicist. He was born in Corris, Gwynedd, and attended schools in Machynlleth and Dolgellau before, in 1921, winning a scholarship to study physics at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. After graduating first-class honours in physics in 1924, he was appointed to the research staff team in H.M. Signals School in Portsmouth, but did not remain in the position for long, instead returning to Aberystwyth to work, initially, as an assistant lecturer in the physics department, before being appointed a lecturer in 1928. Whilst there he worked on a D.Sc. (Wales) degree for important work on the measurement of dielectric and elastic constants under dynamic conditions, which he completed in 1937.
