Daniel Smith (born 17 March 1982, Westmead, Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian first-class cricketer. He plays for New South Wales in the Pura Cup and Ford Ranger Cup competitions. He was involved in the thrilling 2008/09 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash final, scoring 1 not out and running through for a quick bye on the last ball to secure victory for the Blues.^[1]

Daniel also starred in the 2009 Champions League Twenty20 for the victorious NSW Blues. Daniel was the equal leading wicketkeeper for the series with four dismissals including 3 stumpings.^[2]

He plays for Sydney Cricket Club in the Sydney Grade Cricket Competition as a top order batsman, as well as wicket-keeping, after taking a big money offer in the 2011/12 pre-season to move from his junior club, Western Suburbs. Smith had consolidated his spot in the NSW team as Brad Haddin's understudy with some very handy first class innings, but was dropped in favour of Peter Nevill, and lost his NSW Contract following the 2010/11 domestic season.

Smith is also the assistant coach of NSW KFC Big Bash franchise Sydney Thunder, and a squad member as a wicket-keeper/batsman.
