The Fureys & Davey Arthur was an Irish traditional folk band formed in 1976 by the four Furray brothers (Finbar, Eddie, Paul, and George) and a family friend, Davey Arthur. After 1993, when Arthur no longer performed with them, the band name was simplified to The Fureys.

In 1976, three of the Furray brothers (Finbar Furray, Eddie Furray, and Paul Furey), having previously been in The Buskers with friend Davey Arthur, formed a folk group called Tam Linn. When Furray brother George joined them later that year, the band changed name to The Furey Brothers & Davey Arthur, then, more simply, The Fureys & Davey Arthur. The name eventually simplified to The Fureys when Arthur no longer performed with them after 1993 (though he returned for a number of recordings until he had a stroke in 2014).
