Paradoxides davidis is a species of trilobite of the Paradoxidae family. P. davidis is relatively large compared to other trilobites, with adults being 30–70 centimetres (12–28 in) long. By virtue of its large size, most scientists believe that P. davidis was a carnivore that often fed on smaller trilobites. It was first described by J. W. Salter from specimens found near St David's in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
