Arthur Saxon Dennett Smith (Sussex, 1883–1950) was a Cornish bard, writer and linguist, known by the bardic name Caradar. He was born in Sussex, England, of Cornish parents and became a collaborator with Robert Morton Nance and Henry Jenner on the Gerlyver noweth Kernewek ha Sawsnek (Cornish-English dictionary). He compiled several grammars to make learning Cornish easier and edited some of the surviving Cornish texts. He also wrote a series of books aimed at teaching Welsh to English speakers. He is buried at Amberley, Sussex.
