Edith Renfrow Smith (July 14, 1914 – January 2, 2026) was an American woman and supercentenarian who was the first African American woman to graduate from Grinnell College, in Grinnell, Iowa. She was a granddaughter of slaves. At age 108, she was designated a "superager" in a study by Northwestern University for her remarkable memory and longevity. In 2019, at the age of 105, she was given an honorary degree from Grinnell College. In 2022, Grinnell College announced it would name a new residence hall in her honor. Renfrow Hall opened in the fall of 2024.
