Andrew Nevile Davidson, DL, ChStJ (13 February 1899 – 20 December 1976) was a senior Church of Scotland minister. He served as Moderator of the General Assembly between May 1962 and May 1963.
Davidson was born on 13 February 1899 to the Revd James Davidson and his wife Constance (daughter of Sir Andrew Agnew, 8th Baronet). He was a "son of the manse", as his father was a Church of Scotland minister. He was educated at North Berwick High School. He studied philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and graduated with an undergraduate Master of Arts (MA Hons) degree in 1921.
Having graduated from university, Davidson remained in academia for the next three years. From 1921 to 1924, he was an assistant lecturer in logic and metaphysics at the University of Edinburgh. He worked under Professor Norman Kemp Smith. During this time, he also studied divinity at New College, Edinburgh in preparation for ordained ministry in the United Free Church of Scotland.
