Iris Smith (born October 15, 1979) is an American freestyle wrestler who won the 2005 women's world title in the 72 kg division.

Smith has three brothers, Dominique, Kenderson and Westley, and four sisters, Cheavelia, Tyuana, Nicole, and Sasha. She holds a rank of Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army. She missed the 2001 World Championships because it overlapped with her military training program.[1]
