Nelson Davis (c. 1843 - 1888) was the second husband of African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Davis was a former slave and a Union veteran of the American Civil War.

In 1869 he married Tubman, who was 23 years older than he was. They built a house on State Street in Auburn, New York, where they lived together until Nelson died after 19 years of marriage.

Davis appears with Tubman in a group photograph of ex-slaves and Tubman realtions. The identification of said picture can be found here at [1].
