Neriah Davis (born 12 October 1972 in Van Nuys, California) is an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's playmate of the month for its March 1994 issue.

Neriah grew up in a commune with no electricity in Northern California's Sierra Nevada mountains. She had two sisters and a brother; she described her parents as well-meaning hippies. She graduated from Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, where she was an accomplished runner. After high school, she moved to Santa Rosa, California and attended a junior college. When she was 17, she left the commune and went to live in Los Angeles. She quickly found modeling and acting work, including several swimwear magazines. The second week that Neriah was in L.A., she landed her first acting role as "Rita" in The Bikini Carwash Company, in which she was credited as Neriah Napaul. This led to a small part in Meatballs IV. One day, she was working on a photo shoot with Dominic Petruzzi and he asked if he could send some of her shots to Playboy. Neriah immediately agreed, and shortly thereafter, she was a Playmate.

After awhile, Neriah decided to drop out of the L.A. scene for a while and moved back to her hometown for several years in order to get herself grounded. Since being in Playboy, Neriah has been very busy with modeling and acting projects, including roles on Baywatch, Married with Children, and Suddenly Susan. She also maintains a website, www.neriah.com. She lives in Santa Monica.

Davis was the St. Pauli Girl for 2001.

Neriah is good friends with fellow model Brooke Burke. Burke not only had Davis make numerous guest appearances on her show Wild On, she even named her daughter Neriah after her friend.
