Horace (born Horatio) Smith (31 December 1779 – 12 July 1849) was an English poet and novelist.In 1818, he participated in a sonnet-writing competition with Percy Bysshe Shelley.
It was of Smith that Shelley said: "Is it not odd that the only truly generous person I ever knew who had money enough to be generous with should be a stockbroker?
He writes poetry and pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money, and does make it, and is still generous."
