Nadia Symonivna Smyrnytska (Ukrainian: Надія Симонівна Смирницька;^[a] 1852 – 7 November 1889) was a Ukrainian Narodnik revolutionary. The daughter of a priest killed by Cossacks, she joined the Narodniks during the 1870s and was arrested for her activities.

There, along with other imprisoned revolutionary women, she committed suicide in protest against their abuse by the prison authorities.
