Margot Josephine Smith (19 September 1966 – 17 April 2011) was an Australian singer-songwriter and keyboardist. Her debut album, Sleeping with the Lion, was produced by Eddie Rayner and Steve Kilbey and was released in October 1993. That album was nominated for the 1994 ARIA Award for Best New Talent. She issued her second album, Taste, in February 1998. After Smith died Kilbey, and fellow members of his band the Church, organised a tribute concert in her honour in September 2011. A posthumous album, Inhumaninane, appeared in the following year.
