Albertus Stephanus "Kwagga" Smith (born 11 June 1993) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing Super Rugby with the Lions and domestic Currie Cup rugby with the Golden Lions. His regular position is flanker.
He was a member of the South African Sevens team that won a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
He played schools rugby for HTS Middelburg in Mpumalanga, which led to his inclusion in the Pumas Under-18 squads that played at the Craven Week competitions in 2010 and 2011.
After school, he moved to Johannesburg, where he joined the Golden Lions. He started in nine matches for the Golden Lions U19 side during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring four tries.
He was selected in the South African Under-20 side that played at the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France. His only appearance in the pool stages came when he came played off the bench in the 97–0 victory over the United States. He didn't play in their matches against England and France, but he did return to the bench for their semi-final clash with Wales. He came on in the first half and scored one of South Africa's two tries in the match, but it wasn't enough to prevent them losing the match 18–17 as Wales progressed to the final. Smith was again named in their final match of the tournament, the third-placed play-off against New Zealand, and once again scored a try for the Baby Boks to help the team to a 41–34 victory and to clinch third place in the competition.
