William Smith was a Scottish footballer who played for Hibernian as an outside left, although in the last few of the 12 seasons he spent at Easter Road, he was often used at left half after the emergence of Harry Ritchie. Smith played in the 1914 Scottish Cup Final which Hibs lost to Celtic after a replay, and was also selected three times for the Scottish League XI.
