Curt Smith (born March 20, 1951, in Caledonia, New York) is an American author, media host and columnist.

He worked as a Gannett Company reporter, a speechwriter to former Texas Governor John Connally, and an editor at the Saturday Evening Post.

Smith also hosts the twice-weekly Talking Point show on Rochester's CBS affiliate WROC, where he spars with co-hosts on political and other issues.

Smith is the author of eleven books: Voices of Summer, What Baseball Means to Me, Voices of The Game, Storied Stadiums, Windows on the White House, Our House, Of Mikes and Men, Long Time Gone, A Fine Sense of the Ridiculous, America's Dizzy Dean and The Storytellers.
