Lynn Davies CBE (born May 20, 1942 in Nantymoel near Bridgend, Wales) was a member of the Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club and captain of the British Olympic long jump team in 1964. During the 1990s, he was a member of BBC Cymru/Wales' sports department. He won an Olympic gold medal in the long jump in 1964 and finished ninth in 1968, having been flag bearer at the opening ceremony. In 1964 he also competed in the 100 metres and 4x100 metres contests. He was 18th in the long jump at the 1972 Olympics, his selection being something of a surprise at the time.
