Andre Smith (July 24, 1958 – March 4, 2023)[1][2] was an American college basketball player for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

A native of Chicago, Illinois, Smith played at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln as an undersized center at 6'7". Between 1977–78 and 1980–81, Smith scored 1,717 points in 114 games for a career average of 15.1 points per game. At the time of his graduation, he was second on the all-time Cornhuskers scoring list. Smith is still found in the top 10 on many other school records. During his junior and senior years he was named a First Team All-Big 8 Conference member, and at the conclusion of his final season was named the Big 8 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year. In 1980–81, Smith averaged 18.3 points per game to lead the conference en route to becoming Nebraska's first-ever player of the year recipient. He earned honorable mention from the Associated Press in its voting for All-Americans.[3] The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Smith in the 1981 NBA draft, although he never played in the league.

Smith died in March 2023, at the age of 64.[4]
