Steve "Smiley" Barnard (b. January 10, 1971, London) is an English drummer.

Having previously drummed for Robbie Williams on the "Life Thru a Lens" album and tours, Smiley joined Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros after Ged Lynch left. Smiley drummed on "Forbidden City" track of the Rock Art and the X-Ray Style album.

Following Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros debut gig @ Sheffield Leadmill 5th June 1999 The Mescaleros toured extensively throughout UK, Europe, Canada, USA & Japan for the next 6 months. Further tours followed in early 2000 which included Japan, Australia, New Zealand and UK. The final night of a 10 date British Tour supporting The Who, @ Wembley Arena in November 2000, proved to be Smiley's last for The Mescaleros.

In 2001 along with Johnny Wilks formed one*iota who later became King Louis. Smiley drummed for Mock Turtles on their return to the charts in 2003 and is currently drumming for Archive, who though relatively unknown in Britain are reaching massive proportions on mainland Europe.
