Mare Smythii (Smyths hav) är ett litet månhav vid månens ekvator, på den östra del av månen som på grund av librationen inte alltid kan observeras från Jorden. Havet har fått namn efter den brittiske astronomen William Henry Smyth.
Mare Smythii har en rundad form. Det ligger söder om månhavet Mare Marginis, mellan dessa månhav ligger kratrarma Neper och Jansky. Väster om månhavet ligger kratrarna Schubert och Back, i sydväst ligger kratern Ansgarius och österut ligger kratern Hirayama, som har små kratrar i sig.

en:Mare Smythii is located along the equator on the easternmost edge of the near side. The Smythii basin where the mare is located is of the Pre-Nectarian epoch, while the surrounding features are of the Nectarian system. The mare material, which make up the floor of the mare, is a high alumious basalt, and consists of Upper Imbrian basalt covered by Eratosthenian basalt. The Crater located to the north of the mare, at the top of the photo, is Neper. This crater makes up part of the southern rim of Mare Marginis. Just off to the northwest of the mare are the craters Schubert (top) and Schubert B (bottom). The dark mare filled crater at the southern edge of Smythii is the crater Kastner.
