William Smith (10 November 1868 – 28 September 1907) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Lincoln City, Loughborough, Notts County and Nottingham Forest.

He was named as a reserve for England's annual match against Scotland in 1891, and scored four goals in an unofficial international match against a touring 'Canada' team (which actually included several American players) later that year; however, he never received a full cap for his country.
