Oliver Reed Smoot Jr. (lahir 24 Agustus 1940) adalah seorang akademisi Amerika. Beliau adalah mantan ketua American National Standards Institute (ANSI) dari tahun 2001 hingga 2002 dan presiden International Organization for Standardization (ISO) dari tahun 2003 hingga 2004. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Pada tahun 2011, American Heritage Dictionary mengakui nama belakangnya yang dibulatkan menjadi smoot, yang berarti jarak 5 kaki 7 inci (1,70 m), sebagai salah satu dari 10.000 kata baru yang ditambahkan ke edisi kelima mereka. Istilah ini dinamai Smoot dari masa kuliahnya ketika ia digunakan sebagai satuan ukuran di Jembatan Harvard di MIT selama kegiatan sumpah persaudaraan . [5] [6] Jembatan itu berukuran 364,4 smoot.
