Francis Palmer Smith (born 1886, Cincinnati – 1971) was an architect active in Atlanta and elsewhere in the Southeastern United States. He was the director of the Georgia Tech College of Architecture from 1909–1922.

After working in Cincinnati, Ohio and then Columbus, Georgia, Smith was hired as professor of Georgia Tech's new architecture school in 1908. He transferred the curriculum of the University of Pennsylvania which emphasized Beaux-Arts architecture. He met Robert Smith Pringle and formed a partnership with him in 1922, Pringle and Smith.^[1]
