Olivia Smart (born 1 April 1997) is an English ice dancer who currently skates for Spain with Adrià Díaz. With former partner Joseph Buckland, she is a three-time British national junior champion (2012–14) and competed at three World Junior Championships, reaching the top ten in 2014.
Smart teamed up with Joseph Buckland in 2010. They made their JGP debut in autumn 2011, ranking 13th in Austria and 12th in Estonia. They came in 17th at their first World Junior Championships, held in Minsk in March 2012. In the 2012–13 season, the duo missed the JGP series and finished 22nd at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan.
In 2013–14, Smart/Buckland placed seventh at both of their JGP assignments, Poland and the Czech Republic, and finished 10th at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Smart/Buckland moved up to the senior level in the 2014–15 season. In October 2014, they placed fourth at the Ondrej Nepela Trophy, an ISU Challenger Series event. In November, they won silver medals at the International Cup of Nice and NRW Trophy before taking the British national title in the absence of Penny Coomes / Nicholas Buckland. Smart/Buckland withdrew from the 2015 European Championships before the short dance, Buckland having fallen ill with gastroenteritis. The duo went on to place 27th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, China. Following that season, they split.
