This article is about the sprinter from the Bahamas. For the California State Assemblywoman, see Pauline Davis (politician).

Pauline Davis-Thompson (born July 9, 1966) is a sprinter, competing internationally for the Bahamas. She is a gold medal winner in the 4x100m relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She also finished in second place in the women's 200m behind Marion Jones. But in October 2007 Jones admitted taking performance enhancing drugs which is likely to lead to Davis-Thompson to being awarded the gold medal [1].
