Joel Smith (born 3 May 1977) is a former Australian rules footballer.

Beginning his career in 1995 as a bright young prospect for St Kilda, Smith played in the winning team in the club's first AFL Cup victory, the 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup.^[1]

He provided three good years of service before being incurring a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury requiring reconstruction late in the 1997 home and away season, missing the Saints' finals series.

A contractual dispute meant he moved to Hawthorn at the end of 1997.^[2] While he was injured throughout 1998 and did not play a game, Hawthorn recognised this talent and kept him on their list.

Smith made his return in the 1999 season and played as a running half-back, setting up attacking plays. He was successful in this role throughout his career and in 2001 won All-Australian selection and the Peter Crimmins Medal. He again won All-Australian selection in 2003, was vice captain in the 2005 season and consistently finished among the leadings players in the club's best and fairest award.

Smith retired at the end of the 2007 season, during which Hawthorn returned to the finals for the first time in six years, declaring that the rapidly improving Hawthorn side was likely to mean reduced opportunities for him in 2008.^[3]
