Edward J. "Mickey" Davis (born June 16, 1950) is an American former player in the National Basketball Association. Davis first played professionally for the Pittsburgh Condors of the American Basketball Association. He was later drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the seventh round of the 1972 NBA Draft and played with the team until 1976.

Davis' professional career was mostly unheralded, but he did garner some national attention during the 1974 NBA Finals with the Bucks. With starting guard Lucius Allen hurt and the rest of the Bucks' guards unable to handle the defensive pressure of the Boston Celtics, Davis, an adept ballhandler, was called upon to play point guard (unusual at the time at 6'7") alongside Oscar Robertson for much of the series and helped the Bucks extend the Celtics to seven games.
