Robert James Smith is an English musician. He is the lead singer, guitarist, primary songwriter, and only continuous member of the rock band the Cure, which he co-founded in 1978. He was also the lead guitarist for the band Siouxsie and the Banshees from 1982 to 1984 and was part of the short-lived group the Glove in 1983.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Cure in 2019, and in its 2023 issue of the list, he was ranked the 157th greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
