Les Davidson (born 3 April 1963) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s. He played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and represented at both the State and national levels. His position of choice on the field was second-row or prop.[2]

Davidson was a member of the New South Wales Origin squad which played

Australia in a number of Test Matches. He is listed on the Australian Players Register as Kangaroo No. 577.[3]

In the Australian off-season of 1988 and 1989, Davidson had two stints in England playing for the Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors.[4]
