Anna Smith (born 14 August 1988) is a professional tennis player who represents the United Kingdom. She has won five International Tennis Federation (ITF) singles titles, 25 ITF doubles titles and reached a career high singles ranking of world no. 262 on 9 August 2010.

Smith was born in Redhill, Surrey, to Robert and Gunilla Smith and started playing tennis at the age of 10 years. Aside from tennis, her other passions are shopping and football. She is coached by Rob Antoun.

Smith first competed as a junior in February 2003 and her last junior tournament was in June 2006 in the qualifying draw for the Wimbledon juniors. She had limited success as a singles player; she reached only one final (in April 2006 at the Sutton ITF Junior Tournament where she was beaten by Naomi Broady) and did not reach the quarterfinals in any other tournament she played.

She had significantly more success as a junior doubles competitor, winning three titles at the Donnybrook Junior International, the Wrexham ITF Tournament and the Nottingham ITF. She also reached two more finals, four semifinals and one quarterfinal.

Over the three years of her junior career she reached a career-high combined ranking of world no. 665 and accumulated win-loss records of 8–13 in singles and 24–10 in doubles.

Smith played her first professional match in July 2004, courtesy of a wild card into the qualifying draw of the $10,000 ITF tournament in Felixstowe, United Kingdom. She lost in the final round to Lena Keothavong, the younger sister of top-100 player Anne Keothavong, 6–4 6–4. She then lost in the qualifying stages of the $10,000 ITF tournament in Manchester before going to Bolton and winning two matches to qualify for the $10,000 ITF tournament held there. In her first main draw match of her career, she lost to a fellow Brit Elizabeth Thomas in straight sets. She finished 2004 without a world ranking.

In April 2005, Smith lost in the final round of qualifying for the $10,000 ITF in Porto Santo, Portugal, but was given a chance in the main draw as a lucky loser. She played well in this tournament before having to withdraw in the quarterfinals. August brought two more quarterfinal losses for Smith, the first in the $10,000 Wrexham ITF tournament and the second in the $10,000 Nottingham ITF tournament. Her final tournament of the year was the $10,000 ITF event in Sunderland, where she also reached the quarterfinals. She finished 2005 ranked world no. 660.
