Harrison Patrick Smith (born March 19, 1996), known professionally as the Dare and formerly as Turtlenecked, is an American singer and musician. He is best known for his single "Girls", released in August 2022, and for producing the song "Guess" by Charli XCX from the deluxe version of her 2024 album Brat.

After performing indie music as Turtlenecked in the Pacific Northwest, Smith moved to New York City and began writing songs as the Dare. Following the releases of the singles "Girls" and "Good Time", Smith signed with Republic Records and on May 19, 2023, released The Sex EP to mixed reviews. In 2024, he released What's Wrong with New York?, his debut studio album as the Dare, to largely positive reviews.

The Dare is associated with the indie sleaze revival and Dimes Square.
