Timothy Colin Smith (born 15 October 1983) is an Australian former politician, who served as the member for Kew from 2014 to 2022 in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. He is a member of the Liberal Party.
Before entering politics, Smith was a state and national representative rower who won a medal at the 2005 World Championships. At the 2014 Victorian state election, Smith was elected to the seat of Kew. In September 2021, Smith was appointed as Victorian shadow attorney-general. However, a month later, he resigned from this position after he crashed his car while drink driving. He subsequently announced that he would not recontest his seat at the 2022 Victorian state election. Since retiring from politics, Smith worked as a political analyst and commentator, including appearances with Sky News Australia and GB News, before moving to Israel in 2025 to work as a political advisor.
