Beatrice Honour Davy (13 December 1885 – 18 April 1966) was a British barrister, and later, solicitor. She was amongst the first women to be called to the bar, once the legal barriers to entry for females were dismantled in 1919. In 1922, she and seven others were the first women ever admitted to the Middle Temple. Davy was the first woman to appear as advocate at the Devon Assizes, winning the 1923 divorce case for her client. After she requalified as a solicitor in 1931 she established, with fellow solicitor, Edith Berthen, the first all-female law firm in Britain. The firm continued operating until 1951.
