Gordon Duffield Smith (born 29 December 1954 in Kilwinning) is a Scottish football player, coach and executive.
Smith played for several clubs, including Kilmarnock, Rangers, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City.
After retiring as a player, he worked as a football agent and BBC football pundit before being appointed chief executive of the Scottish Football Association in 2007, a post he held until his resignation on 19 April 2010.
Smith then worked as the director of football of Rangers during the 2011–12 season. Smith was also responsible for the introduction of an agreement between the Home Nations' football associations which allowed players educated in a home nation for five years before the age of eighteen to represent that nation at international level, as a result of the change in policy several players have gone on to represent a country they were previously ineligible for.
