Tevis Clyde Smith, Jr. (February 11, 1908 – December 24, 1984)[1] was an American historian, fantasy writer, poet, and amateur publisher, known for his association with Robert E. Howard.

Smith self-published several chapbooks on the history, biography and genealogy of Brown County, Texas, and others of his poetry and short fiction.

As a young man he collaborated on three short stories with Robert E. Howard.

He and Howard collaborated on a story that was meant to run in Smith's magazine, Under the Great Tiger, though they abandoned the project.

[2] Smith did other collaborations with Howard, one of which they sold to the magazine Oriental Stories.

The Howard/Smith novelette "Red Blades of Black Cathay" was the cover story on the February–March 1931 issue of Oriental Stories
