Ernest Davis was an American football player, a halfback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1961 and was its first African-American recipient.

Davis was diagnosed with leukemia that same year, and died shortly after at age 23 without ever playing in a professional game. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979 and was the subject of the 2008 film The Express: The Ernie Davis Story.
