Edward William Smyrk (1 May 1882 – 14 August 1962) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Hawke's Bay and Wellington from 1910 to 1920.
Smyrk was a spin bowler, useful lower-order batsman and fine fieldsman.[1][2] His best first-class bowling figures were 4 for 45 in his last match, for Wellington against Hawke's Bay in 1920.[3]
Smyrk served as a sapper with the Samoa Expeditionary Force in the Occupation of German Samoa in 1914.[4] He returned to New Zealand in March 1915 and married Jessie Arnold in Napier on 7 April.[5]
