Brigadier-General Sir Smith Hill Child, 2nd Baronet, GCVO, CB, CMG, DSO (19 September 1880 – 11 November 1958) was an officer in the British Army and a Conservative Party politician. He was elected at the 1918 general election as Coalition Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Stone in Staffordshire, and held the seat until he stood down at the 1922 general election.
Child was appointed Deputy Master of King's Household in 1926 by King George V and later became Master in the 'Year of three kings", 1936, serving King George VI until he retired from the post in 1941. He was appointed GCVO for his personal services to the Monarch and the Royal Household.
He inherited the baronetcy on the death from his father, who had also been a Conservative MP. The title became extinct on his death in 1958, aged 78.
