Michael Smith (born 18 September 1990) is a professional English darts player playing in Professional Darts Corporation events. He is the 2013 PDC Under-21 World Champion and has since won six titles on the PDC Pro Tour. Smith is managed by Scottish darts player Gary Anderson.

Smith attended Saint Cuthbert's High School in St Helens. When he was 15 he fell off his bike on the way to school breaking his hip which required him to use crutches for 16 weeks. During that period Smith began playing darts for the first time out of boredom and threw his first 180 whilst on crutches. After leaving school he took a joinery course at college but dropped out with one exam remaining to play in a darts tournament instead a decision which he has described as the best of his life. He was a regular winner of local darts events and made his debut in a PDC major at the 2009 UK Open where he lost 6–5 to Dave Ladley in the first round.

Smith reached the last 32 of the 2010 UK Open, knocking out Peter Manley and Matt Clark before losing to Mervyn King. He was one of a number of young players to make a significant impact in the tournament, along with William O'Connor, Arron Monk and Reece Robinson.

He was the number four seed for the 2011 PDC Under-21 World Championship, and lost in the quarter-finals to Benito van de Pas.
