Sir Colin Rex Davis, CH, CBE (b. September 25, 1927), is a British Conductor. He was born in Weybridge, Surrey, UK. Davis studied the clarinet at the Royal College of Music in London, where he was barred from taking conducting lessons owing to his lack of ability at the piano.

Davis began his tenure as Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in 1995. Davis was Principal Conductor of the LSO from 1995-2006, and in 2007 took the post of President of the Orchestra.
