Tony L. Smith (born December 14, 1962) is an American politician who served in the Mississippi State Senate from the 47th district from 2012 to 2016. A Republican, he defeated longtime incumbent Ezell Lee in the district's 2011 party primary, just months after Lee left the Democratic Party to run as a Republican.
