The Stanley Smith Glacier is a 21 km long valley glacier in the southern Coast Mountains in the Canadian province of British Columbia .

The Stanley Smith Glacier has its nutrient base on the northern flank of the 2937  m high Stanley Peak in the Pacific Ranges in the extreme northeast of the Strathcona Regional District . It borders on that of the Bridge Glacier to the east . The glacier flows in a west-northwest direction. The Donar Glacier joins the main glacier on the right. This turns to the southwest on the lower 5 km and again to the west on the lowest kilometer. A glacial rim lake has formed below the glacier, which is drained to the west to the Bishop River . The mean width of the glacier is around 1.4 km. The glacier becomes narrower down the valley. The glacier area is approximately 45 km².
