David Smail (born 20 May 1970) is a professional golfer from New Zealand.
He was born in and resides in Hamilton, New Zealand. He won the New Zealand Open in 2001. He has won five titles on the Japan Golf Tour and has featured in the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He has been the highest ranked golfer in New Zealand.
In September 2010, revelations about Smail's private life caused him to take an indefinite break from golf until 'at least mid-2011' following allegations from Sato Kurihara about an affair the pair had. Smail claims Kurihara made several threats to Smail's wife and children, and now a legal battle is underway.
