John Thain Davidson (1833–1904) was a British Presbyterian preacher.
Born in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee in Scotland, Davidson was educated at Edinburgh University and Free Church Theological College. After being ordained in 1857, he became a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church at Salford in England. Three years later, he moved to the Presbyterian Church in Colebrooke Row, Islington, where he achieved memorable success by transforming a decaying congregation into a large and growing one.
Davidson’s famous sermons were published in Talks with Young Men (1884,) Forewarned, Forearmed (1885,) The City Youth (1886,) Sure to Succeed (1888,) A Good Start (1890,) and Thoroughness (1892.)
