Jimmy 'Jinky Jim' Smith (born January 20, 1947) is a Scottish former football player. He was born in Glasgow.

During his career he played for Aberdeen and Newcastle United. He transferred from Aberdeen to Newcastle in July, 1969 for a fee of £80,000. He became a popular player amongst the club's supporters, with his mazy runs and flair that enthralled the St James' Park crowd. He also possessed 4 caps for Scotland.

Smith experienced a series of knee problems and was sent out on loan to Celtic in the hope it would recover him from the injury problems and allow him to regain form. He failed to do this, however, and was forced to retire at the age of 29.
