Gary Lawson-Smith ( Gary Lawson Smith, born 30 June 1947) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

He began his career as Gary Smith. Lawson was originally his middle name, before he changed his name from "Gary Lawson Smith" to "Gary Lawson-Smith" in 1970 to reduce confusion from a similarly named coworker.[2]
