Edward "Gunboat" Smith (Filadélfia, 17 de fevereiro de 1887 – Leesburg, 6 de agosto de 1974) foi um pugilista americano, que deteve o título de campeão mundial branco dos pesos-pesados em 1914.Nascido na Filadélfia, Smith passou a maior parte de sua infância vivendo em orfanatos. Quando atingiu a maioridade, juntou-se à Marinha dos Estados Unidos, aonde começou a praticar boxe.Smith iniciou sua carreira profissional no boxe, por volta de 1908 ou 1909, em um período no qual o campeão mundial dos pesos-pesados era Jack Johnson, um boxeador negro indesejado como campeão, pela sociedade extremamente racista da época.Entre 1911 e 1913, Smith derrotou oponentes como Charles Horn, Bombardier Billy Wells, George Rodel, Jess Willard, Fireman Jim Flynn e Carl Morris, o que acabou alçando-o à condição de esperança branca, um nome dado a todos os proeminentes lutadores brancos surgidos durante o reinado de Johnson, de quem se esperavam a reconquista do título mundial por um boxeador branco. Assim sendo, em 1914, Smith atingiu o ápice de sua carreira, quando derrotou Arthur Pelkey e se tornou o campeão mundial branco dos pesos-pesados. Poucos meses mais tarde, porém, Smith acabou perdendo esse seu título para o pugilista francês Georges Carpentier, de modo a deixar escapar uma chance de desafiar o título mundial de Johnson.Uma vez fora da corrida pelo título mundial dos pesos-pesados, a carreira de Smith começou a declinar. Após sofrer três derrotas seguidas para Jack Dempsey, entre 1917 e 1918, Smith enfim encerrou sua vida dentro dos ringue em 1921, quando sofreu um nocaute no primeiro assalto contra Harry Wills.
