Terwyn Davies (born 3 April 1979) is a Welsh radio broadcaster, originally from Ceredigion in Wales.

He was brought up in the Aeron Valley, Ceredigion, and was educated at Felinfach Primary School and then at Aberaeron Comprehensive School. He then went on to study Communication studies at the University of Wales, Bangor and a post-graduate course in Journalism.

In October 1999, whilst still at University, Terwyn joined the BBC Radio Cymru presenting team where he co-presented Gang Bangor, a youth music programme, with Dylan Wyn and Owain Gwilym. In 2000, he acquired a new broadcasting partner - Stephen Edwards and both continued to present Gang Bangor, before it evolved into C2.

Terwyn co-presented the late-night slot on C2 every Thursday and Friday between 11pm - 1am with Stephen Edwards and Jeni Lyn, and also on Saturday mornings between 10.30am - 12.30pm. Later, the slot was changed to a later time of 12.30pm - 2.00pm, this time under the Steve a Terwyn branding.

In October 2007, due to an C2 relaunch, Steve and Terwyn's programme came to an end. In April 2008, Terwyn joined the early morning Saturday programme presenting team, Galwad Cynnar on Radio Cymru as a reporter.

In his private life, Terwyn has worked for independent TV production company Telesgop since 2001 where he started as a researcher on the farming magazine programme Ffermio. Now he works as an interactive producer on the programme - responsible for the programme's website and interactive TV application.

Terwyn has also coped with a stammer from a very young age, which caused emotional problems for him during his childhood and teenage years. But somehow through his radio work, he has now learned to control the stammer, and although hasn't totally overcome it, has managed to make it disappear while he broadcasts.

His voice can also be heard, reading the news on the Bwletin Ffermio programme every Tuesday and Friday at 12.20pm on S4C Digidol.
