Dave Smith (born 1949) is an English composer. He was a member of the Scratch Orchestra and a performer/composer in ensembles with John Lewis, Michael Parsons, Howard Skempton, John White, Gavin Bryars and Benedict Mason.

His early music was characterised by vertical time and a minimalist approach to form. His style developed into a highly eclectic pool of ideas chronicled in a long series of Piano Concerts, works which encompass an entire concert with varieties of styles.

Formerly a lecturer at De Montfort University, Smith currently lectures in music at the University of Herts and Goldsmiths College London. He is an active member of COMA (Contemporary Music for Amateurs).
