William Smith (geolog)
Vilijam Smit (; Čerčil, 23. mart 1769. – Northempton, 28. avgust 1839) je bio engleski geolog, zaslužan za stvaranje prve nacionalne geološke karte. Iako poznat kao „otac engleske geologije“, proces priznavanja njegovog dela tekao je prilično sporo. Drugi su prisvajali njegov rad, on je bio finansijski uništen, pa je proveo i neko vreme u zatvoru. Tek mnogo kasnije Smitu su priznate zasluge za dostignuća u oblasti geologije.
