Gordon Murray Smith (born 3 April 1949) is a Scottish former cricketer and educator.

Smith was born at Glasgow in April 1949 and later studied at Jordanhill College. A club cricketer for the West of Scotland Cricket Club, Smith played in three List A one-day matches for Scotland in the 1980 Benson & Hedges Cup, making his debut at Glasgow against Leicestershire in what was Scotland's inaugural List A match; his following two appearances came against Derbyshire at Glasgow, and Lancashire at Old Trafford.[1] As a bowler in the Scottish side, Smith struggled against first-class county opposition, going wicketless in his three matches.[2] Outside of cricket, Smith was by profession a schoolteacher.[3] In 2012, he was president of the West of Scotland Cricket Club.[4]
