Frank Ernest Smith (13 May 1872 – 3 December 1943) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket between 1893 and 1908. He played 68 games and later umpired.

He was born at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.

As a player, Smith played for Surrey County Cricket Club as part of the County Championship-winning sides of 1893 and 1895 and was awarded his county cap in 1894.[1] His best season was in 1894 when he took 95 wickets with his "rather slow" left-handed deliveries.[1] He made 11 appearances for the short-lived London County between 1901 and 1902 and played once for Transvaal in 1907, spending many years coaching in South Africa during the English off-season.[1][2] As an umpire, he stood in five Test matches between 1902 and 1910, all in South Africa.[2]

After playing Smith coached at Sedbergh School in Yorkshire.[1] He died at Sedbergh in 1943 aged 71.[3]
