"Inner Smile" is a song by Scottish alternative rock band Texas, originally released on their greatest hits album, The Greatest Hits (2000).

"Inner Smile" was scheduled to be released on 25 December 2000, but it was delayed to 8 January 2001, when it was issued as the second single from The Greatest Hits.[3][4] The song peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, reached number eight in Spain, and charted within the top 20 in Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands.
