John Smiley (born March 17, 1965 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for four teams: the Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins, the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians in a twelve year career from by|1986 to by|1997.

Smiley was a two time All-Star: as a Pirate in by|1991, a season in which Smiley led the National League with twenty wins and finished third in the Cy Young Award balloting; and in by|1995 with the Reds, a season in which he had twelve wins and five losses. In August 1995, Smiley surrendered a home run to Braves pitcher Tom Glavine — the only homer Glavine has hit in his major league career to date. Smiley suffered a career-ending injury while warming up for a start in 1997 shortly after he was traded to the Indians by the Reds.
