Isaac Benjamin "Ike" Davis (born March 22, 1987, in Edina, Minnesota) is a Major League Baseball first baseman for the New York Mets. He and his father Ron Davis, who pitched in the majors for 11 years, are the 197th father-son combination to have both played in the major leagues.

He led his high school team to three straight Arizona state championships as a pitcher/first baseman from 2003-05. He batted .447 in high school, and on the mound he was 23-0 with a 1.85 ERA and 14 saves. He also pitched for the gold medal-winning U.S.A. Youth National Team in the World Youth Championships in 2003, and was the MVP of the AFLAC All-American High School Baseball Classic in 2004.

Ranked second in the nation as a freshman for Arizona State University by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball, he was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, as he became the first freshman ever to lead the Pac-10 in RBIs. He hit .353 with a .605 slugging percentage in his college career, sported a fastball that touched 94 miles per hour when he was on the mound, and was a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Pac-10 Conference selection.

Drafted 18th overall in the 1st round of the 2008 Major League draft, he batted .288 with a .371 OBP and a .467 slugging percentage in 677 minor league at bats. The Mets called him up to the majors in April 2010.
