Henry Smith (February 10, 1766 – June 28, 1818) was the fifth Governor of Rhode Island from October 15, 1805, to May 7, 1806.
Known as the Colonel Henry Smith House, it stood until the early 1920s, when it was razed to allow for construction of an annex for the Rhode Island State House.
Lieutenant Governor Paul Mumford had died before Fenner, so as first senator Smith succeeded to the governorship.
