Dhane Smith (born January 22, 1992) is a professional lacrosse player for the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League and the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Association.

Smith eventually moved up to the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks of Major Series Lacrosse, and was transferred to the Shamrocks during the 2014 season.
Smith was drafted fifth overall by the Bandits in the 2012 NLL Entry Draft. He began his NLL career as a transition player, but eventually switched to forward.
