Dean Smith (born 22 March 1988 in Wolverhampton, West Midlands) is a British former racing driver, who was the 2009 champion of the British Formula Renault Championship and winner of that year's McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.

[1] Smith moved up to the British Formula Renault Championship in 2006, finishing 9th in the overall standings.

A lack of funds prevented him from a full F3 campaign in 2009, meaning he moved to the Porsche Carrera Cup.

He was then given the opportunity to join British Formula Renault team Manor Competition, and took seven victories on his way to winning the title, despite missing the opening round of the championship at Brands Hatch due to him competing in the supporting Porsche races at the circuit.

[1] He also took second place in the final race of the Eurocup season at the brand-new Ciudad del Motor de Aragón circuit in Spain.
