Randy Smith (born June 15, 1963 in Houston, Texas) is an American former executive in Major League Baseball. He served as general manager of the San Diego Padres (1993-95) and Detroit Tigers (1996-2002).

The son of baseball executive Tal Smith, Randy Smith became the GM of the Padres midseason in 1993 at age 29. After six years as Tigers GM, in which the team never posted a winning season, he was fired along with manager Phil Garner six games into the 2002 season.
