Cameron "Cammy" Smith (born 11 December 1993) is a retired Scottish curler from Perthshire.

He was the longtime lead for his brother Kyle.

It was Scotland's first time winning the event since 1996.

He also played for Scotland at two European Curling Championships, two World Junior Curling Championships and the 2013 Winter Universiade, winning the 2013 World Junior Curling Championships.

During his junior career, Smith played lead for his brother Kyle.

The team represented Scotland at two World Junior Curling Championships in 2013 and 2014.

In, the team, also consisting of Thomas Muirhead, Kyle Waddell and Hammy McMillan Jr.., topped the round robin with an 8–1 record.

They then beat Canada's Matt Dunstone in the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game and then defeated Russia's Evgeny Arkhipov to secure the gold medal.

Later in the year, the Smith rink led Great Britain to a silver medal at the 2013 Winter Universiade (representing Scottish Agricultural College).

After a 6–3 record in the round robin, they lost to Sweden's Oskar Eriksson in the final.

At the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships, the team, now with Duncan Menzies at alternate instead of McMillan went 6–3 in the round robin, but were able to defeat Norway in the 1 vs. 2 game to once again qualify for the final.

There, they were bested by Switzerland's Yannick Schwaller, settling for silver.

Team Smith immediately found success on the World Curling Tour, reaching the finals of the Dumfries Curling Challenge, the Mercure Perth Masters and the European Masters during the 2014–15 season.

The team competed in their first Grand Slam of Curling event at the 2015 GSOC Tour Challenge Tier 2 where they reached the semifinals.

They also made the semifinals of the Swiss Cup Basel before being eliminated by the Brad Gushue rink.

In October, the team won the qualifier for the 2015 European Curling Championships, defeating the Tom Brewster rink in the best-of-three final.

They would go on to miss the playoffs at the Europeans after losing in a tiebreaker to Sweden's Niklas Edin.

The 2015–16 season also marked Team Smith's first tour win together at the Edinburgh International where they defeated Jaap van Dorp to claim the title.

The 2016–17 season was a breakthrough season for the Smith rink, beginning at the Oakville Fall Classic where they captured the event title.

They also reached the semifinals at the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard, the Swiss Cup Basel and the Red Deer Curling Classic.

In Grand Slam play, the team in four events.

The team's best finish came at the 2016 GSOC Tour Challenge where they made it all the way to the final before being defeated by the Edin rink.

The team were chosen as they were the top ranked British team on the 2016–17 World Curling Tour rankings, despite having never won the Scottish Men's Championship.

They also made the semifinals at the 2017 Players' Championship but were again eliminated by Team Edin.

At the Scottish Men's Curling Championship, they finished third after losing both the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game and semifinal to the David Murdoch and Bruce Mouat rinks respectively.

They ended their season at the 2017 Euronics European Masters where they beat the Edin rink in the final.

In June 2017, it was announced that British Curling had selected the Smith rink to represent Great Britain at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

They were also chosen over the Murdoch, Mouat and Tom Brewster rinks, which caused controversy due to the Murdoch rink winning the 2017 Scottish Championship.

However, because they missed out on the playoffs at the 2017 World Men's Curling Championship, the advantage was ultimately handed to the Smith rink.

They failed to make it past the quarterfinals in any of their fall events and missed the playoffs at both the 2017 GSOC Tour Challenge and the 2017 Masters.

Due to their selection as the British Olympic team, they already qualified to represent Scotland at the 2017 European Curling Championships.

There, the team went 6–3 through the round robin, qualifying for the playoffs.

They then defeated the higher seeded Switzerland's Peter de Cruz rink before losing in the final to the Edin rink, earning the silver medal.

Before the Games, they played in three more tour events, with their best finish coming at the German Masters where they lost in the final to Marc Pfister.

At the Olympics, the team had mixed results throughout the round robin, ultimately finishing tied for third with a 5–4 record.

This put them into a tiebreaker against the Swiss de Cruz rink, which they lost 9–5, eliminating them from contention.

During his career, he competed for Great Britain at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, placing fifth.

Leading up to the 2018 Winter Olympics, the Smith rink did not have the best season on tour.

Immediately following the Games, the team played in a best-of-three playoff against the Mouat rink to determine who would represent Scotland at the 2018 World Men's Curling Championship, which the Mouat rink won two games to one.

In their final event of the season, Team Smith reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 Players' Championship, where they once again were defeated by the Edin rink.
