Umberto Smaila (born 26 June 1950) is an Italian actor, composer, comedian, television personality, entrepreneur, and musician.

Born in Verona to an Istrian family,[1] in the early-1970s Smaila co-founded together with Jerry Calà, Franco Oppini and Ninì Salerno a cabaret-ensemble, I Gatti di Vicolo Miracoli.

The group, reduced to three components since 1982 following Calà's departure, appeared on several successful TV programs and films and released several songs, including the hit singles "Verona Beat" and "Singer Solitude".

Smaila also composed musical scores for a number of films including Beast with a Gun (1977), Il ragazzo del pony express (1986), Sweets from a Stranger (1987), Delitti e profumi (1988), and Chicken Park (1994).

The main theme of Beast with a Gun was later included in the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown.
