Major Paul Davis (USAF) is a fictional character in the science fiction series Stargate SG-1. Davis is stationed at the Pentagon and often helps Stargate Command when they come in conflict with other nations on Earth and other portions of the United States government. He is a person whom SGC can always trust, as he has proven on several occasions.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Davis first appeared when the Stargate made contact with a black hole. During this event he brought General Hammond to a meeting in Washington, D.C. ("A Matter of Time"). Several months later, when SG-1 is captured by Hathor and Hammond starts rescuing missions, Davis has to bring him the bad news that the president will not allow any new missions ("Into the Fire").

Nearly a half year later, Davis is one of people at SGC who is captured by an unknown alien race and impersonated by one of them ("Foothold"). When Thor's ship is take over by Replicators and SG-1 tries to stop them from landing the ship on Earth, Major Davis watches their attempts from SGC ("Nemesis"). When the Replicators later take over a Russian submarine, Major Davis informs SGC about this incident and oversees the actions of SG-1 to destroy the machine bugs ("Small Victories").

Major Davis later helps SGC to rescue Colonel Jack O'Neill and Teal'c, who are captured in the X-301, a modified Goa'uld Death glider ("Tangent"). He also assists Daniel Jackson in negotiations with the Russians for their DHD, so that they can rescue Teal'c. During this time he has a dispute with Daniel over what to give the Russians for the device and was opposed to the idea to give them the technology of a Naqahdah generator ("48 Hours").

Davis finally had the chance to join SG-1 on a mission, when they investigate a Goa'uld mothership, which suddenly appeared in Earth orbit ("Descent"). He also assists SG-1 in their attempt to stop a reporter from exposing their secrets of the new Prometheus project. However when the starship is hijacked by rogue NID agents, he has to negotiate with them ("Prometheus"). He finally works together with General Hammond in presenting the Stargate program to representatives of France, China and the United Kingdom. During this event he also opposes Senator Robert Kinsey's attempts to convince the ambassadors to give the NID control over the program ("Disclosure").

In an alternate timeline, Major Davis is seen recruiting the alternate versions of Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter for a mission to Ancient Egypt to restore the original timeline SG-1 disrupted in attempt to steal a ZPM from the Goa'uld Ra. Unlike in the main universe, Davis had a moustache. ("Moebius").

In the beginning of (Avalon (Part 1)), Teal'c commented that 'Colonel Davis' was helping the Jaffa set up a new government based on democratic ideals. It is not made clear if this in fact is Paul Davis, now promoted to Colonel, or a separate officer.

Many fans refer to him by the humorous name of 'Major Disaster Davis', as he nearly always turns up at times of major disaster.
