Charles E. "Chino" Smith (September 24, 1901 – January 15, 1932) was an American outfielder in Negro league baseball who was one of the Negro leagues' most skillful hitters of the mid-1920s and early 1930s. He stood only 5'6" tall but could hit the ball with power and efficiency. Satchel Paige called him one of the two most dangerous hitters in Negro league history. He was known for his good eye at the plate and hit line drives to all fields.
