Michael John Knight Smith (born 1933 June 30 in Leicester) is an English cricket player. Educated at Oxford University he represented Leicestershire from 1951 until 1955, and Warwickshire between 1956 and 1975.

He captained England in 25 of his 50 appearances. He also represented England at rugby union (against Wales in 1956). In recent years he has been chairman of Warwickshire County Cricket Club (1991-2003) and an ICC match referee (1991-1996). His son Neil Smith followed in his footsteps by captaining Warwickshire and playing, albeit only in one-day internationals, for England.
