Stephenson Percy Smith (11 June 1840 – 19 April 1922) was a New Zealand ethnologist and surveyor. He researched and wrote about the origins of the Māori people and was one of the founders of the Polynesian Society.[1] While his research has been criticised as flawed, it set a foundation for ethnological study in New Zealand.[2]
