Thomas Smith (died 1767) was a landscape painter and father of John Raphael Smith of Derby.^[1]^[2] Smith painted many landscapes including historic houses like Chatsworth and views on the Lake District.

With George Perry he designed views of Coalbrookdale, which were engraved by François Vivares. These are among the earliest industrial landscapes.^[3]

Smith's 1751 painting "An Extensive Landscape with Hunting Party" was sold for over $67,000 at an auction at Southeby's. He painted the picture in 1751, a year before his son was born and sixteen years before his death.^[4]
