Alfred Charles Smith (October 8, 1893 – ?) was an American lawyer and Democratic politician who served as a member of the Virginia Senate, representing the state's 3rd district.

An investigation was commenced in 1926 after Smith was accused of committing forgery in South Carolina and Virginia. He became the first person in the history of the Virginia Senate to be impeached, and on the night of March 10, he was removed from office.[1] One year later, Smith received the seat back and served the remainder of his term.
