"Smoky the Cowhorse" is a novel by Will James that was the winner of the 1927 Newbery Medal.

The story details the life of a horse in the western United States from his birth to his eventual decline. Smoky is born in the wild, but is captured and trained by a cowboy named Clint. Smoky is unusually intelligent, and soon becomes known as the best cowhorse around, and later is known as "The Cougar", the meanest bucking horse on the rodeo circuit.

Clint is heartbroken when Smoky is stolen, and the rest of the story details Smoky's treatment at the hands of different owners, and his eventual return to Clint.

An illustrated edition was issued in 1929.
