Stuart Campbell Smith (19 September 1868  - date of death unknown) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Smith was born at Rathmines in Dublin in August 1868.[1] A high scoring batsman in club cricket for Leinster,[1] Smith first appeared for Ireland in a minor match against I Zingari at Dublin in 1891 (four years earlier he had played for the Gentlemen of Ireland against the Gentlemen of Canada).[1] [2] He continued to appear regularly for Ireland in minor cricket from 1891 - 1908.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland at the age of 40, against the touring South Africans at Dublin.[3] He played two further first-class matches for Ireland in 1908 at Dublin, against the touring Gentlemen of Philadelphia, and Yorkshire.[3] Despite being a heavy scorer at club level, he failed to repeat this at first-class level, scoring just 19 runs at an average of 3.16 across his three matches.[4] He played for Stanley Cochrane's Woodbrook Club and Ground in a minor match against Hampshire in 1909.[2]
