George Hamilton Smith (born February 10, 1949 in Japan) is an American author, editor, educator and speaker, known for his writings on atheism and libertarianism.

His published works often deal with such issues as capital punishment (which he opposes), anarchism, libertarianism, religious toleration, and atheism. He has written about William Wollaston, Herbert Spencer, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Ayn Rand, and other figures. On December 31, 2007, George Smith provided a humorous "qualified endorsement" of Republican Party candidate Ron Paul via YouTube for libertarian voters, but also one that was consistent with his published writings on electoral politics.^[2]

In 2013 Cambridge University Press published his book The System of Liberty: Themes in the History of Classical Liberalism.
