Kurtwood Larson Smith (born July 3, 1943) is an American television and film character actor. He was born in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, but was raised in California.

Smith studied theater at the College of San Mateo and San Jose State University and earned a drama fellowship from Stanford University's Master of Fine arts program. In the 1970s, he began working regularly with the California Actors Theater in Los Gatos, California. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue a television and film career. In 1964, he married Cecilia Souza, with whom he had two children. He divorced in 1974. Since 1988, he has been married to actress Joan Pirkle.

He is probably best known as the character of Red Forman on the Fox sitcom That '70s Show, which he has played since 1998.

Other than playing the President of the Federation in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
, he appeared in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Things Past" as a Cardassian named Thrax, and in Star Trek: Voyager, he played a Krenim scientist named Annorax in the episode "Year of Hell." His most famous role (besides his part on That '70s Show), however, may be Clarence Boddicker, the villain of the first Robocop movie. He has also voice acted in computer games, such as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

He also had reaccuring appearances on the boycott claymation series Gary & Mike as the vengeful Officer Dick.
