Danville Smith is a South African politician who served as a Member of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament for the African National Congress. Smith was the ANC's spokesperson on local government.

On 12 May 2021, Smith voluntarily stepped aside as a member of the provincial parliament, in line with the party's national executive committee resolution, as he has been charged with fraud and corruption. He had allegedly stolen R25,000 by submitting a fraudulent food parcel invoice for a Mandela Day event, when he was a ward councillor in Lamberts Bay. Smith is the first ANC politician in the Western Cape to have stepped aside from their position.
