Daniella Smith (born 30 July 1972, in Kaikohe, New Zealand) is a New Zealand former professional boxer. She became the first female fighter to win an IBF title, having held the welterweight version from 2010 to 2011, and is the third New Zealand-born person to win a boxing world title in 120 years, after Torpedo Bill Murphy (1890) and before Joseph Parker in 2016 with World Boxing Organisation. Smith was once ranked pound-for-pound number one in New Zealand of all time in the Women's division according to boxrec. Smith held the record for holding the most New Zealand national professional titles, winning two NZPBA New Zealand national titles in the welterweight and super welterweight division. She held this record for fourteen years, until Mea Motu beat the record when Motu won her third New Zealand title in 2022.
