Samantha Smith (born 27 November 1971) is an English former professional tennis player, who was the British ladies' No.

She took three years out of tennis to attend the University of Exeter where she attained an upper second class Honours degree in history.

Her highest achievement was in reaching the fourth round at the Wimbledon Championships in 1998, when she beat Anne-Gaëlle Sidot, Mariana Díaz Oliva and former champion Conchita Martínez before losing to eventual runner up Nathalie Tauziat.

In so doing she picked up an ankle injury that required her to have two operations and spend four months in plaster; this effectively ended her career.

Smith won a silver medal in the mixed doubles at the 1995 Universiade (World University Games) in Fukuoka, Japan, partnering Paul Robinson.
