James Roy Smith (1904–September 7, 1986) was a water polo competitor for the University of Southern California from 1928 to 1932, and a Hall of Fame Water Polo Coach for Fullerton High School and Fullerton Jr. College from around 1932–1962. He coached a total of seven Olympians during his career. Serving on the United States Olympic and National AAU Water Polo Committees, in 1985 he received the Peter Uebberoth Award, America's top honor for achievement in the sport of Water Polo. He developed many of the modern rules which are used in competition today, authored three books on Water Polo, and helped design the yellow rubberized ball adopted by FINA in 1956 which greatly enhanced spectator interest in the sport.
