Lillian Hall-Davis (23 June 1898 – 25 October 1933) was a British actress during the silent era.

The daughter of a London taxi driver, her films included a part-color version of I Pagliacci (1923), The Passionate Adventure (1924), Quo Vadis (1925), Blighty (1927), The Ring (1927) and The Farmer's Wife (1928), the latter two both directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Hall-Davis also appeared in a comedy short film made in the Lee DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process, As We Lie (1927), co-starring and directed by Miles Mander.

She failed to make the transition to talkies and killed herself at home in Golders Green by turning on the gas and cutting her own throat.
