Джон Смит (англ. John Smith; 9 января 1580, — 21 июня (1 июля) 1631, Лондон) — английский писатель и моряк, стоявший у истоков Джеймстауна, первого британского поселения на территории современных США. В воображении широких масс имя капитана Джона Смита связано с пересказанной им самим историей о его «романтической связи» с дочерью индейского вождя по имени Покахонтас.
