John Gordon Smith (1863 – 19 June 1921) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Council. Smith was born at Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to William Smith and his wife Christina (née Duncan).〔 He was a publican in Maryborough and the proprietor of a night coffee stall in Queen Street, Brisbane, in 1900. Smith was President of the British Associated Friendly Societies Dispensary as well as a Past Grand Master of the Ancient Order of Foresters.〔 ==Political career== When the Labour Party starting forming governments in Queensland, it found much of its legislation being blocked by a hostile Council, where members had been appointed for life by successive conservative governments. After a failed referendum in May 1917, Premier Ryan tried a new tactic, and later that year advised the Governor, Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, to appoint thirteen new members whose allegiance lay with Labour to the Council.〔("Goold-Adams, Sir Hamilton John (1858–1920)" ) ''Australian Dictionary of Biography''. Retrieved 14 April 2015.〕 In 1920, the new Premier Ted Theodore appointed a further fourteen new members to the Council with Smith amongst the appointees.〔 He served until his death in June the next year.〔
