Andrew Martin Smith (b. 1984, Sharon, CT) is a composer, clarinetist, and entrepreneur based in Western New York. Currently a Senior Adjunct Lecturer at the State University of New York at Fredonia, he is also a faculty member at Interlochen Arts Camp, having previously served as an Adjunct Instructor at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and Owens Community College.
