Carl Edvard Smith (12 July 1843 – 25 July 1928) was a Swedish naval officer and early promoter of canoeing. As a naval officer, he had a successful career, reaching the rank of kommendörkapten (commander) and becoming a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences and the Royal Swedish Society of Naval Sciences. For eight years he was the head of the permanent naval mine defences of Sweden. In addition to his military career, Smith was instrumental in introducing canoeing as a sport to Sweden. After an encounter with a canoe on Malta in 1871 which sparked his enthusiasm, he took to propagating canoeing through articles and books, and through designing and building canoes himself. He has been called the "father of Swedish canoe sporting".
