Jasper Keith Smith, Jr., sometimes called Jap Smith (June 20, 1905 – May 18, 1992), was a lawyer and Democratic politician from Vivian in northern Caddo Parish in the far northwestern corner of the U.S. state of Louisiana.
Smith was born in Shreveport, the sixth of eight children of Jasper Smith, Sr. (1869–1934), and the former Julia Hollingsworth Stewart (1872 – c. 1974), both natives of Georgia. The senior Smith was for thirty years until his death in 1934 the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Shreveport. He dedicated the new church building on Jordan Street on March 7, 1926. Smith's oldest brother, Jasper Stewart Smith (1893–1981), a veteran of World War I, was an architect who designed many homes of the gentry in Shreveport.
