Suzy Davies (born 3 January) is a Welsh Conservative Party politician, and first on the Conservative list for the region of South Wales West in the National Assembly for Wales election in May 2011. She was elected as a member of the National Assembly for Wales for the South Wales West region in the 2011 election.
Suzy Davies was born in Swansea, and grew up in Bridgend, Aberdare, Cardiff, and Brecon. A graduate of Exeter University and the University of Glamorgan (the latter now the University of South Wales), she is married with two sons. After a career in both marketing and management, she became a solicitor.
She has trained as a mentor for young offenders and has mentored with Prime Cymru. Davies has also been a trustee of a number of children's projects and volunteered with community support groups.

Prior to her election as an Assembly Member in 2011, Davies contested UK parliamentary seats twice for the Welsh Conservative Party. At the 2005 general election she fought in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, finishing in third position but increasing the Conservative vote share by 0.8%. She contested the 2010 general election as the Conservative candidate for Brecon and Radnorshire, narrowly losing out to Roger Williams of the Liberal Democrats.
