G. Davis Greene, Jr. (March 22, 1931 – September 2, 2012) was an American politician and member of the Democratic Party. Greene was appointed to the office of Treasurer of Pennsylvania by Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey on January 23, 1987, the day after the suicide of his predecessor, R. Budd Dwyer. He was sworn into office on February 11, 1987[1] after a unanimous vote by the Pennsylvania Senate, making him the 31st Treasurer of Pennsylvania.[2][3]
Greene's appointment and confirmation to Treasurer was done on the understanding that he would not seek a full four-year term in 1988. As agreed upon, he stepped down after the completion of Dwyer's term, and was succeeded by Catherine Baker Knoll.[4]
