The Smith Street Primary School is an historic school at 396 Smith Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It is a large 2+1⁄2-story brick structure with a cross-gable roof. It was designed in Queen Anne style by William R. Walker & Son and built in 1885. The building occupies its site at an unusual angle, partially overhanging the sidewalk, and has an asymmetrical interior, a departure from the other schools the Walkers designed for the city.

It was used as a school facility until 1967, and then housed administrative offices for twenty years. By the early 1980s it was in use as the Smith Hill Center—a non-profit neighborhood community service agency.

It is one of three (out of fifteen) surviving schools built by the city in the 1880s.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]
