Graeme Davis (born 1958 in Isleworth, England) is a writer and editor. He has worked extensively in the gaming industry and was one of the original designers of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

Davis started playing Dungeons & Dragons in the mid-1970s, shortly after it was first imported into the United Kingdom.

After leaving school he worked in the banking industry before studying for a Bachelor of Arts degree in archaeology at the University of Durham in 1979. He graduated in 1982 and started work towards a Doctor of Philosophy degree.

His first paid writing for the game was an article in Games Workshop’s White Dwarf magazine in 1982. Many others followed, for White Dwarf and other magazines such as TSR, Inc.'s Imagine.

A job offer from Games Workshop in 1986 prompted Davis to leave university with his Ph.D. unfinished. However, his historical and archaeological knowledge and research skills have been put into use throughout his career with several firms and as a freelancer. He has written over 30 books and 100 magazine articles for various role-playing games, and contributed to the design of more than 15 computer and video games.

Davis published his first novel, Blood and Honor, book four in the Eberron The War-Torn series, in 2006.

Since 2009 Davis has been the line editor for Rogue Games' historical horror RPG Colonial Gothic, contributing to several titles in the line.
