Paul Albertus Smit (born 23 March 1953 near Otavi, Otjozondjupa Region) is a Namibian politician and farmer.
Upon graduation in Tsumeb, he left to South Africa, where he attended the University of the Orange Free State in Bloemfontein.
[1] A White farmer, Smit considers himself "apolitical" despite being the Deputy Minister of Agriculture since 2000 in an otherwise SWAPO-led government.
Smit has actively worked towards reconciliation between Black and White Namibians through Transformation Namibia.
In May 2003, the organization held a successful rally but a planned apology on behalf of White Namibians did not result.
