A partire dal 1877, la medaglia Davy è un riconoscimento scientifico rilasciato ogni anno dalla Royal Society (Accademia delle scienze britannica). È una medaglia di bronzo con l'effigie di Sir Humphry Davy ed è assegnata agli scienziati che si sono distinti con particolari ricerche nel settore della chimica. Viene assegnato anche un premio in denaro attualmente di 1.000 sterline.
