Daniel Marcus Davin (1 September 1913 – 28 September 1990), generally known as Dan Davin, was an author who wrote about New Zealand, although for most of his career he lived in Oxford, England, working for Oxford University Press. The themes of his earliest fiction, in short stories that include ''Saturday Night, Late Snow'', ''The Apostate, The Basket, The Vigil'', and ''The Milk Round'', were about "Mick Connolly" and his Irish Catholic family in largely Protestant Southland.
