Robert Smith was an American politician. He was born in 1757 at Maryland and died in 1842. He served as a volunteer at the Battle of Brandywine.

He was Secretary of the Navy in Jefferson's Cabinet from 1802 to 1805, and though appointed Attorney-General in 1805, really served as Secretary of the Navy from 1805 to 1809.
