John Smiley (born March 17, 1965 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for four teams, the Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins, the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians in a twelve year career from 1986 to 1997.
He was a two time All-Star in 1991 with the Pirates, a season in which Smiley led the National League in wins with twenty and finished third in the Cy Young Award balloting that season and in 1995 with the Reds, a season in which he had twelve wins and five losses.
He suffered a career-ending injury while warming up for a start in 1997, shortly after the Reds traded him to the Indians.
