Khano Smith (born January 10, 1982 in Warwick, Bermuda) is a football (soccer) player. He currently plays for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.

Smith previously played for the Dandy Town Hornets in Bermuda and has played for the Bermudan national team. He made his first start for the Revolution, and scored his first goal for them, on June 4, 2005 during a 1-1 tie with the Kansas City Wizards. Smith also scored the winning goal against the MetroStars which led the Revolution to the MLS Conference Championship in 2005. He has come to be known in New England for his maddeningly inconsistent play, showing occasional flashes of brilliance, but also making fundamental mistakes. He is also known for his pace and his crucial crosses which pick out his teammates for easy finishes. He moved from an out and out striker to an attacking left wing back and is a danger when on form as he has shown in MLS games. Regardless, in 2007 he was the regular starter on the left wing and scored several crucial goals.

He also has 20 caps for the Bermuda national football team. Smith enjoys celebrity status in his homeland, following the retirement of Shaun Goater he is the island's most famous footballer.
