Thomas Gregory Smith (January 17, 1778 – April 5, 1823) was an Virginia planter, militia officer and politician in Virginia who served in both houses of the Virginia General Assembly. He represented King and Queen County in the Virginia House of Delegates both several years before and several years after the War of 1812, and Essex County, King William County and King and Queen Counties in the Virginia Senate during that conflict. One of three men of the same name to serve in the Virginia General Assembly around the turn of the 19th century, his familial relationship to Thomas Smith Jr. and Thomas Smith of nearby Gloucester County, and to Sir Thomas Smith, Treasurer of the Virginia Company in the 17th century (and namesake of Smith's Hundred on the James River) is unknown, for several indentured servants of the same common surname emigrated to Virginia in the colony's early years.
