Jacob Davies (1816–1849) was a Welsh Baptist missionary from the Newtown area of Montgomeryshire. He became a Baptist in 1835. In 1837 he began preaching, and in 1840 moved to study at Horton College in Bradford. He married Eliza Green of Peckham. In 1844 he was appointed to a missionary position in Sri Lanka; but within a few years his health began to fail. In February 1849, he supported the Kandyans against the Governor of Ceylon Lord Torrington following the Matale rebellion. After 5 years in Sri Lanka, he died in Colombo on 2 November 1849 of cholera at the home of Dr. Elliott in Colombo and was buried at Wolvendaal Church.
