Frederick Adamson "Jock" Smith (born 14 February 1926) is a retired Scottish footballer who played at inside forward for various clubs, most particularly Sheffield United and Millwall, in the 1940s and 1950s.

Smith was born in Aberdeen and started his professional career at his local club before moving to England to join Hull City in January 1949.[1] In January 1951, after two years at Hull, he moved to Second Division rivals Sheffield United where he played alongside his namesake, Fred Smith.[2]

After two seasons with the "Blades", Smith dropped down to the Third Division South, joining Millwall in January 1953.[3] At the end of his first season at The Den, Millwall finished runners-up, but only the champions (Bristol Rovers) were promoted.

Smith left Millwall in July 1956, spending a season at Chesterfield,[4] before returning to his native country to join Montrose.
