Edward Clarke Smith (October 24, 1864 – August 25, 1926), was a pharmacist and Republican politician in the U.S. State of New Hampshire. He served as the mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire in 1911 and 1912.

He is, to date, the only mayor of Manchester to have been descended from two others who have held the position. A newspaper account at the time of his death speculated that a grandfather-father-son succession had likely never occurred in an American city before.
