Norbert Harrison Davis (April 18, 1909 - July 28, 1949) was an American crime fiction author. Norbert Davis was born in Morrison, Illinois, where he grew up. At the end of the 1920s his family moved to Southern California and by the end of 1934 he was to receive his law degree from Stanford University but never bothered to take the bar exam. He started writing short stories for ''Black Mask'' in 1932 and lived in the Los Angeles area. He also contributed to ''Dime Detective'', ''Double Detective'', ''Detective Fiction Weekly'', ''Argosy'', and ''The Saturday Evening Post''.
