Brad Davis (born November 8, 1981 in St. Charles, Missouri) is an American soccer player, who currently plays left midfielder for the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer.

Davis joined Saint Louis University in 2000, and played for the school for two seasons before leaving college soccer for the professional ranks. While at SLU, Davis was named the Conference-USA Freshman of the Year his first year, and a second team NSCAA All-American as a sophomore.

After signing with MLS, Davis was selected third overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars. Davis started 12 games for the team, scoring 4 goals and 3 assists, and was a finalist for the Rookie of the Year Award that ultimately went to Kyle Martino. Although Davis was very impressive in his rookie year, when the MetroStars were taken over by Bob Bradley, the coach overhauled the team, and Davis was one of the many players to go. He was traded to the then-Dallas Burn for the fourth overall pick in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, which Bradley would use to select Mike Magee.

Davis's first year with the Burn would be contradictory, as he had a very solid season, but his club was one of the worst in the history of the league. Davis led the team in scoring with 6 goals and 5 assists, and was named the Burn's MVP, but this was a rather dubious honor for one of the worst teams in league history.

In his second year with the team, new coach Colin Clarke tried to move Davis to the center of the field to play attacking midfielder - this move did not prove too successful, however, and after making little impact through several games, Davis was returned to the left. There, however, he had to compete with newcomer Eric Quill for playing time. Davis finished the season with only 2 goals and 2 assists despite playing more minutes than in 2003, as the Burn yet again missed the playoffs, although by considerably less this time. He was traded to the Quakes before the 2005 season, in a large deal that saw Richard Mulrooney and Arturo Alvarez move to Dallas.

Davis has played for several youth United States national teams. He played for the US at the 2001 World Youth Championship in the Argentina and since has moved up to the Under-23 team.
