The Governor John Walter Smith House is a historic home located at Snow Hill, Worcester County, Maryland. It is an unusually large and elaborate example of the Queen Anne style of domestic architecture. It was built in 1889-90 for local landowner John Walter Smith, who was later a United States representative, Governor of Maryland and United States Senator. The house retains its interior millwork and unusual Art Nouveau stained glass windows.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
