Thomas Smith (March 5, 1785 – April 13, 1841) was an American merchant, militia captain and politician in Virginia who represented Gloucester County, Virginia in the Virginia House of Delegates for most of the years between 1826 and his death. Today, he maybe best known for acquiring and expanding Airville, now on the National Register of Historic Places or as the nephew of lawyer Thomas Smith Jr. of Mathews County (which split from Gloucester County when this man was a boy). Four other men of the same name also served in the Virginia General Assembly.
