William Smith (22 septembre 1756 - 31 mai 1835) est un homme politique britannique indépendant de premier plan, siégeant en tant que député. Il est un dissident anglais et joue un rôle déterminant dans l'octroi de droits politiques à cette minorité religieuse. Il est un ami et un proche associé de William Wilberforce et un membre de la Secte de Clapham, et est à l'avant-garde de plusieurs de leurs campagnes pour la Justice sociale, la réforme des prisons et les efforts philanthropiques, notamment l'abolition de l'esclavage. Il est le grand-père de l'infirmière et statisticienne pionnière Florence Nightingale et de l'éducatrice Barbara Bodichon, fondatrice du Girton College de Cambridge.
