Omarr Ali Hasan Smith (born April 4, 1977) is a former American football defensive back and current head coach of the Baltimore Brigade. He played for the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena Football League (AFL). He played college football at San Jose State.

In his career, Smith has played for the San Jose SaberCats twice, from 2000–2002 and 2004–present. He also played one year (2003) for the Tampa Bay Storm. He has also coached defensive backs at Whittier College. Prior to re-joining the SaberCats, Smith served as defensive coordinator with the rival Arizona Rattlers for three years (winning two championships). Smith has won seven total Arenabowl championships as a player (4) and assistant coach (3); this ties the legendary Tim Marcum, who won seven as a head coach, for the most in AFL history. Smith was the head coach of the Los Angeles KISS of the AFL in 2016.

Smith attended Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California. While there, he lettered in football, basketball and track. He was a three-time all-league and two-time all-area grid choice.

Smith played four years at San Jose State University and had 13 career interceptions, the second-most in school history. He joined the team as a walk-on in 1995 and was assigned to cover Keyshawn Johnson in his first collegiate start. He led San Jose State with nine passes broken up in 1996 and 16 in 1997. He tied for second in the nation in 1997 with seven interceptions and tied a school record with three interceptions against the University of Hawaii. Smith returned 22 punts for 246 yards and was the only player in Division I-A to rank in the top-30 in both interceptions and punt returns. He had an 84-yard touchdown return at UTEP in 1997 and an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown against Fresno State in 1998. Smith had 74 tackles as a sophomore, third-most on the team, and ended his career with 182 career tackles.
