Norman Andrew (Norm) Davison (December 13, 1907 – June 28, 1990) was a Canadian politician. He was born in Everett, Ontario.[1]

A machinist by trade, Davison served four terms in the Ontario legislature from 1959 until his retirement in 1975. He was first elected as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation Member for Provincial Parliament for Hamilton East in the 1959. He was re-elected in the 1963 provincial election for the Ontario New Democratic Party which had been formed through the merger of the CCF and the labour movement.
