Jonathan Payn Fellows-Smith (born 3 February 1932 in Durban, Natal) is a former South African cricketer who played in four Tests in 1960.

Fellows-Smith, nicknamed "Pom Pom", was an aggressive right-handed middle order batsman and a useful right-arm medium pace bowler who played the bulk of his cricket in England. Appearing first as a student for Oxford University in 1953, he won his Blue that season and in the following two years as an all-rounder. He stayed in England after his university days and played fairly regularly for Northamptonshire in 1957, when the team equalled its highest-ever placing by coming second in the County Championship.

He finally played his first first-class cricket in his native country in 1958-59, turning out regularly for Transvaal that season, and the following year he averaged more than 70 runs per innings in the South African domestic season, and was picked for the 1960 South African tour to England.

The tour was not a success, hampered by bad weather and overshadowed by controversy over the bowling action of the fast bowler Geoffrey Griffin. For much of the tour, Fellows-Smith batted very low in the batting order and his bowling was also not used much. He still returned respectable figures of 863 runs and 35 wickets, and he played in four of the five Tests, again batting well down the order in three of them, but promoted to No 3 for the final match at The Oval. He got a reasonable start in most of his Test innings, but his top score was no more than 35, and he failed to take a single Test wicket.

After the 1960 tour, Fellows-Smith played one more first-class match in South Africa and just two more in England, both for Free Foresters against his former university. In 1966, he played Minor Counties cricket for Hertfordshire.

Fellows-Smith was also a rugby union player who won a Blue for Oxford.
