Nathaniel Gerard Smith (born 1980)[2] is an Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 2019 to 2023, representing Wollondilly for the Liberal Party[3] where he lives with his wife and sends his children to school. Smith was defeated by independent Judy Hannan in the 2023 New South Wales state election in what is widely considered as an upset.[4]

He has fought for households affected by mining subsidence and has advocated for the rejuvenation of the Picton to Colo Vale loop line, agri-tourism and the protection of local character. He is passionate about improving local roads and supporting young apprentices and families.
