Paul Andrew "Ocker" Davies (born in Kidderminster, Worcestershire 9 October 1960) is a retired English association football player.

He first played professional football for Cardiff City before joining Trowbridge Town F.C. and Dutch club S.C. Hercules (Enschede) before signing for his home town side Kidderminster Harriers F.C. for £1,500 in 1983.

A centre forward, Davies remained a free-scoring stalwart in various Harriers teams under long-serving Harriers' manager Graham Allner throughout the eighties and into the nineties, courtesy of Allner's free flowing 4-3-3 'total football' strategy. League sides made various approaches to sign the centre forward (including Cardiff City F.C., Walsall and Wolves) but Davies remained with the Conference side though 656 games, scoring 307 goals, and becoming the Conference all-time top goal-scorer.

With fellow strikers Kim Casey and Mick Tuohy, Davies had arguably his best spell in 1985-1987 when the Harriers scored 99 goals in one season, with Davies scoring both goals in Kidderminster's 2-1 FA Trophy Final success against Burton Albion. 1986-87 then saw Davies joint-top scorer in the Conference with 26 goals.

He finally left Harriers in 1999 to join Graham Allner as assistant at Worcester City.

In 2004 Paul Davies was voted by fans the Harriers "cult hero" on BBC TV's Football Focus weekly mobile phone vote.

Paul Davies is currently manager of Southern League Division One (Midlands) side Stourport Swifts F.C.

He turned professional at Highbury in November 1969 and helped the Gunners win the Football Combination title that season. His solitary First Division appearance was as a substitute in Arsenal's 4-2 victory at home to Newcastle United in October 1971.

He was sold to Charlton Athletic for £8,000 in November 1972 after a loan spell. He stayed with Charlton for two years, making a total of 67 appearances. In March 1975, he moved to Romford where injury ended his career.
