For other people named Abel Smith, see Abel Smith (disambiguation).

Abel Smith (baptised 14 March 1717 – 12 July 1788) of Wilford House in the parish of Wilford, near Nottingham, England, was one of the leading bankers of his time, a member of a banking family, and also served as a Member of Parliament.

Smith was known as Abel Smith the Younger, to distinguish him from his father of the same name. Some much later secondary sources have called him Abel Smith II.
