Edwin Harold Smith (February 19, 1909 – March 5, 1958) was an American diver who competed at the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics. In 1928 he finished fourth in the 3 m springboard. Four years later he won the gold medal in the 10 m platform and a silver in the 3 m springboard. Domestically he won the AAU springboard titles in the 1 m in 1928 and 1930 and in the 3 m in 1930 and 1931. After the 1932 Olympics he became a professional show diver, and a diving coach at New York Athletic Club and Yale University. He also prepared the German diving team to the 1936 Summer Olympics. During World War II he served as a captain in the U.S. Navy, and after that worked as a pool manager at luxury hotels in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara.
