雅各布·赫德·史密斯（英語：Jacob Hurd Smith，1840年1月29日—1918年3月1日），是美國陸軍將軍，因為美菲戰爭中對薩馬島的報復屠戮而臭名昭著，後來受到軍事法庭的審判，於1902年確定罪行，結束自己在美國軍隊中的職業生涯。^[1]^[2]^[3]為了報復巴蘭吉加戰役的死傷，史密斯下令殺死所有在薩馬島、十歲以上的菲律賓男人。^[4]他因這一事件受到軍事法庭的審判，菲律賓歷史學家認為死亡數字約為5萬人。^[5]

While U.S. soldiers ate breakfast, the church bells rang a signal. Filipinos brandishing machetes emerged from their hiding places. Forty-eight Americans, two-thirds of the garrison, were butchered, in what is called the Balangiga massacre. On the orders of General Jacob H. Smith, U.S. troops retaliated against the entire island of Samar where Balangiga is located. The exchange is known because of two courts-martial: one of Waller, who was later court-martialed for ordering or allowing the execution of a dozen Filipino bearers, and the other of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, who was actually court-martialed for giving that order. The jury is out to the extent that order was carried out, because Littleton Waller actually countermanded it to his own men and said "Captain David Porter, I've had instructions to kill everyone over ten years old. But we are not making war on women and children, only on men capable of bearing arms. Keep that in mind no matter what other orders you receive." Undoubtedly, some men did commit atrocities regardless of Waller's commands.
