Murray Smith was a New Zealand politician. He was a member of the United Future New Zealand party caucus, having been elected to Parliament as a list MP in the 2002 elections. He was a founding member of the Christian Democrats, which later became Future New Zealand. Future New Zealand then joined with United New Zealand to form the modern United Future New Zealand. Before entering national politics, he was a lawyer.

Like his associates, Larry Baldock, Bernie Ogilvy, Paul Adams and Marc Alexander, Smith only served one term before he left Parliament at the New Zealand general election 2005, given that his party polled only one-third of its previous electoral support.

In the 2008 election, Smith is standing for United Future in the electorate of Hutt South.
