Phil Smith (born October 15, 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and West Perth in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Smith was recruited from Newtown-Chilwell and spent most of his time at Geelong in the reserves, making just four senior appearances in his first two years with the club. He managed eight VFL games in the 1970 season from which he kicked all of his 17 career goals.

West Perth recruited him in 1971 and playing as a full-forward he was their leading-goalkicker for three successive seasons. He kicked 84 goals in 1973 to win the Bernie Naylor Medal but missed that year's WAFL Grand Final, which West Perth lost to Subiaco. Smith was however a member of the 1971 West Perth premiership team. He played at Woodville in 1974 and was their best forward with 53 goals.

He is the father of prolific Subiaco forward Bradley P. Smith.
