John Thomas Smith, also known as Antiquity Smith (1766–1833), was an English painter, engraver and antiquarian. He wrote a life of the sculptor Joseph Nollekens, that was noted for its "malicious candour", and was a keeper of prints for the British Museum.
John Thomas Smith was born in the back of a Hackney carriage on 23 June 1766.
In the years following Smith's demise, his executors issued three posthumous works: Cries of London in 1839, edited by John Bowyer Nichols, Book for a Rainy Day and Antiquarian Ramble in the Streets of London in 1846, edited by Charles Mackay.
