Lucy Davis is an English actress best known for playing the character Dawn Tinsley in the hit BBC comedy, The Office.

Davis played Maria Lucas in the BBC's 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice. She has also appeared in the films Sex Lives of the Potato Men (2004), had a role in Shaun of the Dead (2004), and played Hayley Jordan in The Archers on BBC Radio 4. She gave up the latter role when her other acting responsibilities made it impossible to continue; the part was recast in September 2005.

She was reportedly offered a role in In Her Shoes that eventually went to Toni Collette. Davis apparently refused the role as it involved being Cameron Diaz's on-screen 'fat, ugly' sister.

In 2006, Davis appeared as the 'Fashion TV' host on ABC's hit Ugly Betty, and later that year was cast as a British comedy writer in NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. In 2008, she began a recurring role on the US series Reaper.

She is the daughter of comedian Jasper Carrott.
