Anton Oscar Smith (born 6 May 1991 in Lidköping) is a Swedish trampolinist, representing his nation at international competitions.

Born in Lidköping, Sweden, he took up gymnastics in 2004. Smith is a member of the national team since 2007 and made his international debut in 2009. He competed at world championships, including at the 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015 Trampoline World Championships.[1][2] He won the 2015 Swedish Championships.

His career was paused for a year by a double heel fracture incurred while training in 2016, and he was also reportedly "troubled by an injury ahead of the 2017 World Championships".[1] A head injury resulting in a concussion prevented him from competing in the 2019 World Cup in Valladolid, Spain.[1]
